You are illegally cybersquatting his business domain that he's been doing business on for over a decade.

You are violating the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act

"The law was designed to thwart “cybersquatters” who register Internet domain names containing trademarks with no intention of creating a legitimate web site, but instead plan to sell the domain name to the trademark owner or a third party."

"Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to register your trademark to obtain trademark protection. Simply using your trademark in commerce provides common law protections."

Cybersquatting
noun
the practice of registering names, especially well-known company or brand names, as Internet domains, in the hope of reselling them at a profit.
