I don't see that happening, even in light of the recent expansion of RICO to go after Silk Road card number buyers.

Thats not the same at all.
This is more like stealing the pepsi name to sell an unauthorized pepsi drink. Then using that name illegally to market that drink through its use in the registration of the domain and the creation of a character called Pepsi... causing confusion in the market place and benefit from Pepsi's marketing, advertising and branding efforts to promote something not associated with them at all.... and then making that material available to 3rd parties to also profit from.
