Yup you're right, there's effectively no way to avoid the UDRP with domain names, with very few exceptions, usually around country code TLDs. These domains should be relatively trivial to take down for big stakeholders I'd have thought, if the experience of the UDRP case load over '.sucks' domains is anything to go by. That and of course the UDRP's well studied and documented bias towards large trademark holders thanks to the "pursuer pays" business model they use. I'd imagine a compelling argument can be drafted that these are bad faith registrations of another company's registered mark, especially if you look at the criteria the UDRP uses.
I'm always surprised how few people in the software industry know anything about the UDRP, especially in light of some of its incredibly questionable decisions over the years, and the huge impact it can have on a software business. It's pretty interesting as one of the few large scale examples of a privatized court system, and also one of the only globally enforceable trademark systems ever conceived (thanks to ICANN's total control of the DNS system), much to the annoyance of many non-US governments.
Interestingly, their CEO has claimed that .feedback is 'UDRP proof', which is laughable if you are at all familiar with the way in which the system has worked in the past: http://domainincite.com/19736-tls-says-feedback-will-be-udrp...
