Filing a UDRP action is about $2K-$10K a pop in legal fees (and about a $1500 filing fee). Not much money to FB obviously, but preparing the paperwork, filing, etc. can be a pain.
FB just spams cease and desist letters, and because people are so scared of them, most capitulate rather quickly. They basically conduct shock-and-awe.
Sophisticated domain owners can also appeal an adverse UDRP action in the U.S. courts.
I love that Lamebook is fighting back.
