You go down to the local grocery store and find that there is no more food. Where is all the food, you ask? Some rich guy moved into town and purchased all the food for himself. Why? He's not eating it or using it in some other way. He just wants to own all the food so he can sell it to you at double or triple the price of the grocery store. That's why this guy wants to force him to give up his domain. Anyway, I think if you can find some false information on his WHOIS record he can get his domain revoked. Not sure though. Check it out.

I don't think what the owner wants to or is doing with the site is anyones business but his/hers. You really need to just offer them some cash and hope they accept. In saying that is you have a registered company with the same name and can prove that usage of the domain name is causing your goodwill harm you can take them to court and have a forced change of ownership. I should know it's happening to me right now :( Very strange that you think having an under construction image up is not using the domain – it's your perspective being pushed here.
