To give you the short answer, 'no'.

Using your domain name does not violate any trademark or copyright. If it
did, everyone who hit your web site would be in violation. Everyone who
linked to or mentioned your site would be in violation. 

Feel free to threaten us with lawyers, it isn't the first time we've heard
it.
