There's a website called "royaldutchshellplc.com" which is clearly NOT the official website of Shell. It's a parody. But a lot of the information on it is negative. Isn't that considered cybersquatting?

That is your freedom of speech at work, hell even your news media have the right to lie.

royaldutchshellplc.com is a Royal Dutch Shell gripe site and blog operated by Alfred and John Donovan, who engaged in several marketing campaigns with Shell during the 1980s and early 1990s. The father and son duo believe Shell violated intellectual property agreements and filed several law suits against Shell prior to starting several websites critical of Shell, including royaldutchshellplc.com. The site has been oft quoted in news sources and is known for its activities as an Internet leak and forum for Shell whistleblowers. royaldutchshellplc.com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think if it were illegal it would have been shut down long ago.
This game has gone on since the internet started. It was a big money maker for a while registering names and selling em back to a company who wanted em or wanted to shut em down.
An Israeli (Jewish) businessman now living in North Carolina was sued by Nissan for using the domain nissan.com as the URL for his computer repair shop. He registered the name in 1994, and I suspect a pretty shady company let him have it. The guy argued that Nissan was known as Datsun when he moved to the USA and started his first business in 1976. I don't know why that matters because Datsun became Nissan in 1984, 10 years before he started his site.
