Is .sucks just a domain name registry? A way to extort money from trademark owners?

No, it’s the about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, the kind of thing civil rights movement leaders including Martin Luther King and Jesse Jackson could get behind.
The video opens with stock news footage of MLK and various civil rights marches, accompanied by what seems to be audio from one of King’s speeches.

The video goes on to intermingle archive footage with nauseating B-roll padding, until we discover that none other than former US presidential candidate Ralph Nader loves .sucks.

The way I see it is if a company doesn't do a defensive registration on company+sucks.com, it falls under the 1st Amendment (many lawsuits, lost). Just tread easy, state facts with evidence, and you will be fine.

Coming from someone who wants Congress to look over ENCS/OMSG (military car sales to service members overseas).

To be honest, I've told the General Counsel to go back to law school, stating cases. Got an offer of $10,000 to shut mine down, but I won't -- I'm not a sellout; protecting my brothers and sisters of the Armed Forces. (Up and running since Feb 2012)

.sucks and .exposed aren't necessary, unless they have already claimed those names in dot com. In which case, it's your personal Yelp/gripe site. Just don't monetize it, and you will be fine.

I respect Ralph Nader and it really surprises me that he agreed to be in this video...
