If you have a registered trademark and someone is monetizing off of a typo of your domain and selling it back to you - aren't they are committing a trademark violation?

Also the toolbars are playing in the space as well. Now we also have the "official typosquatter" citizenhawk, who will contract with companies to work on getting these domains back and taking commissions on the traffic. In my opinion this only serves to legitimize the "business model" of redirecting typo traffic through affiliate links. Geno,
