IP law has changed so that you would not be able to register anything with another company's name so you would not be able to do it. They stopped it because of that advent of people buying up and then selling the domains back to the more rightful owners for profit by just parking it.

Think its silly to have .sucks. Companies will just buy the domain names, or start cases on defamation/rights infringement against site owners.

.sucks is a pure extortion scheme. The way that business model works is that during the "sunrise" period all the trademark owners get told they have first shot at buying their domains (for big bucks) or "risk" having someone else register the domain.

Even if you as the little guy were to register a domain (eg Sanral.sucks) there is a good chance that if Sanral were to follow ICANN's new UDRP process that they would probably be able to have domain suspended or taken away from you anyway.
