Not exactly... Wicked does have an obligation to protect its trademark so its not exactly a hundred dollar case. For around $1500, plus lawyers fees, they could submit a claim for the domain under the UDRP. Off shore or not there's a decent chance they'd get it. The arbitration panels tend to side with the trademark holders (since that's where their bread is buttered).
