Blast their name. If they don't want the free promotion of their product, then they're idiots. I do understand the reasons behind it as described by Dave; but come on, all you're going to do is piss people off. You could make a fortune off this. By the time they take you to court and spend thousands in attorney and court fees, they could spend those same thousands, less a few, to just purchase the domain from you. Work it in your favor. Who knows, you may have already settled. I’m with Permial Darkling. Blast their name. If they don’t want the free promotion of their product, then they’re idiots.

I agree that it's bad PR but they're within their rights. Perhaps you could turn this into an opportunity by convincing Red Bull why you're site is good for business? It will be interesting to see how this turns out. A trademark is a trademark. I agree that it’s bad PR but they’re within their rights.

Place a picture of one of them on your page and slam them with impunity. Force them to purchase the domain from you. Post everything that they threaten you with on the site. Make sure to add the bovine hindquarter comparison. Angus Red Bulls predate the corporate insignia by an order of magnitude. Place a picture of one of them on your page and slam them with impunity.

Very bad way to handle the situation instead of just saying "could you put a disclaimer just in case people get confused, even though we appreciate you advertising our product." Some lawyers are so quick to mess things up, instead of writing a nice letter. Maybe they could be confused, but if anything, the site was there to promote the drinking of redbull.
