Later on she would become a contract with a big company, who then trademarked her name and acquired the .com, .net version of the same domain name that I own the .info for.

Now they are bitching up a storm because they want me to stop using the domain name. As much as it is an easy win for me, I still have to go through the hassle of hiring a lawyer. This crap cost me money but that's the thing. I was willing to put up the money to to piss off the party in question. Most people don't have a few thousand laying around to deal with it and just cave and give up the domain name in question.

So I guess what I'm getting at is consider that as an option and maybe try pushing your own legal weight around and see if you can get them to cave that way.
