OK, let me tell you what I know...it doesn't matter WHAT anybody does with a domain that contains a trademarked name. Hell, you can take it and NOT even have it online at all. It doesn't matter one bit. If Steve decides he wants that domain and when he tries to get it discovers that another person has it...then he will get it. I know you want to argue for arguments sake. But I have seen it done time and time again.
It doesn't make one iota of difference what a person puts on a domain that is trademarked. When the rightful owner of that trademark petitions for it...it WILL be taken from the squatter and given to the trademark holder.
Again, I don't know you...as far as I can tell from your profile, you don't own anything. But usually a simple email suffices to get a squatter to voluntarily hand over a domain. But if it comes right down to it...a lawyer writing the internet God's will result in the domain being transferred to the rightful owner.
That is what I'm trying to point out to you. It doesn't really matter what you try to do or how slick you try to be. Once the domain has been given to the trademark owner...well, game over. Hopefully that clears up my point. Everything else is irrelevant. So "no", nobody could "screw" Steve with that domain name. Not for long anyway.
