Im purposely using a sponsors trademark to rank in Google...

Yea i said it and i know Im intentionally doing it ...I did a search just out of curiosity for a well known sponsor on google and the term "tube" and what google gives me each time no matter where I search from (i have used diffrent locations,ips, and machines), is the sponsor "paying" for the sponsored ad result box then 10 tube sites with the sponsors full length videos.

Out of curiosity i purchased a domain for 99 cent using the exact search term and started adding the programs in question hosted flvs. I currently rank number 2 for this term on some searches, and number 1 on other locations.

Should the sponsor be happy i did this? Or should a cease and desist letter be on its way to my inbox?

BTW if they do tell me to turn over the domain, i wont fight it, but i probably wont promote them any further but I doubt they will care if i do.
