dude. you don't stand a chance trust me.

legal fees alone are gonna cost you an arm and leg and you
will NEVER win.

i've dealt with those assholes before, in some cases in court
under similar situations (i had a few AOL TM domains and
pointed them to porn sites) and in some cases I just handed
them over because I knew I wouldn't stand a chance.

The name was taken from you simply because you refused
to give it up and they either 1) couldn't contact you to
file legal action or 2) they just didnt feel like it. They filed
a complaint with ICANN and after a few months-weeks
got them to release the name and transfer ownership to
AOL. This is a VERY common thing in the domain business.

Also, keep this in mind. If the domain was registered in
bad intention (ex: to poke fun at aol or related service, or
to advertise competition, etc) you may not only get it taken
away, but they can sue you for up to $100,000 in damages.

If you want a good lawyer, John Berry is THE BEST when it
comes to domain disputes, but take my word for it. This piece
of shit domain will cost you about $5k-$10k in legal fees and
your chances of getting it back after such a long time are slim
to none.

Like I said before. Shit like this isn't uncommon, I've had a
few problems with AOL myself.
