Damn cyberquatters... nothing worse than companies which buy up domain names and then expect you to fork out upwards of USD8,000 to buy it off them.

If you register and park a domain because you mean to use it later on, fine and more luck to you... but if you register and park it with the express purpose of extorting money for it, I have no pity for you... especially since -according to ICANN - you don't OWN the domain, you only lease it.
