I've never had it happen to me, but I've heard of it happening. If you own a business with a specific name and someone registered your domain, you might be able to take legal action.
On another note, good luck with the pub. Doesn't really look my style, customers are a bit old for me
Maybe it'll be good for you to get the perspective of a small business owner.

Do I just hire some sort of a Federal Lawyer?
To be honest, I'm not sure. Someone posted earlier the law that was enacted making this kind of stuff illegal, but I doubt it'd be worth your money to hire a lawyer to get the domain. It'd probably be cheaper and easy to either buy the domain from the asshole or just stick with the .net domain.

You need a litigation lawyer. It will probably run you $200/hr, but his first action will most likely be to right the guy a threatening letter about it saying "We will sue your ass for my time and Dave's injuries." If you're lucky the guy will give it up, otherwise the ball is rolling and now in his court.
FWIW IANAL so I could be pulling this straight from my ass, but I think I'm right

Sounds more reasonable than the ICANN route.

interesting...
monkeyislandpub.com doesnt exist, and redirects you to google.com:
"The page cannot be found
www.monkeyislandpub.com/ - 2k - Cached - Similar pages "
Click on the link and it redirects you to monkeyislandpub.net

He noticed I put this in the Meta tag right away:
<meta name="" content="What happened to MonkeyIslandPub.com? Ask ...... he took the domain name on Dec 17th 2006">
He also accused me of having someone say "nasty" remarks about him taking the name on his website.
I mentioned it to people at the Pub but did not tell anyone to say anything.
I'm thinking of putting the info on the site in plain site and warning people not to do business with him.
Also put the Registrar info which is in this same state as well.
I believe they are conductiing unethical business practices.

Here is E-mail he just sent me a few minutes ago:
say what you want i am honest and have honor...
in contrast to you.
i would have done as i said.
you post in whispers and lies..
i in public
=========================
I believe that is outright slander now too.

That actually would be libel, but I think it has to be a public document.
Edit: Differences between slander and libel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slander_and_libel
He made the .com page blank after someone posted as he put it "nasty" comments about him.
I didn't see the comments and I did not make the comments.
In my opinion he is slanderous making that claim when he has no proof and I did not say anything.
Interesting.
He just made it re-direct.
It was coming up blank until today.
It must be the AT effect.
Thanks
Well you guys know me.
I certainly don't say anything in "whispers and lies" as he said.
I'm about as upfront as you can get I believe.
He never said anything about a price, in fact he said it was a "gift" and welcome to the island.
So I thought he would give me the username and password and that would be that.
I wasn't thrilled when I saw the whois all filled out in his name.
Then he said just send him the changes I want to make for the web page and he would post them.
But I said I do my own posting.
I sent him an E-mail showing the transfer process from the Registrar.
I didn't do anything month of January mainly because of the Ice storm (didn't have power for 8 days) and then I registered and fired up the .net.
