Sure, they could buy it for $99/year and forward it to their main site, but I could have sworn you could make a domain "unregisterable" if you owned the copyright.

i.e. Disney could block disney.xxx for free.
in short yes they can with the right lawyers sending notices. Otherwise ICM wants to charge you some "fee" to make it unregisterable. I would personally spend the money on lawyers than pay them a fee
