Personally, I would hope that the rules would be the same as if you were trying to start a new business or magazine with the name in the domain name (I am making no judgement on how close UDRP is to that ideal). By that criteria, I am sure that if you tried to start a company or magazine named "Walmart Sucks" you would hear from their lawyers and they would be equally successful.Surely owning a domain is more like naming a book or magazine article than naming a business. After all, businesses are not the only Internet sites.
I agree. In fact, during the heydey of "Beverly Hills 90210", I remember a monthly newsletter called "The I Hate Brenda Newsletter" or some such thing, which was a parody fanzine for Shannon Doherty, the actress who played Brenda. It was a quite funny piece of pop-culture parody, and I'm sure the magazine would have been shut down if copyright law allowed Fox Networks to. -----ScottG.
