“It is the domain name that infringe”

Domain names per se don’t infringe on their own, though it doesn’t stop some trademark holders from believing otherwise anyway.

Well, the lawyer that I spoke with (specializes in domain disputes) told me that as long as I used my (trademarked) domain for the purpose of being critical of the trademark holder that it was a legitimate use. The lawyer I spoke with was Zak Muscovitch at dnattorney dot com - I also investigated a lot of the legal decisions and they seemed to confirm what Mr. Muscovitch told me. The domain that I have and use for my "critiques" is the name of a very powerful entity that is quite capable of going to court as going to court is pretty much the main thing that it does. “It is the domain name that infringe and the way its used is just further proof.”

A registrar therefore can't know beforehand if a domain name is legimate or not. The Toyota example shows that it’s not domain names but their use that infringes trademarks.
