They most likely have the name trademarked so you would be in some legal hot water if you did try that.

What are some methods to find out about "trademark infringement" for your website? Is there an organized source for trademarked names, other than just searching the web?

There was previously a hosting co. named Hosting-Paypal. Due to the trademark, they were forced to change their name. If you're wondering, they're now call Hosting-PP.

I hate to be negative, but don't even think about it. Even if you had a case, you would need $10's-$100,000 to fight this. Even if you could afford this, you'd most probably lose.

No doubt, a losing battle.
