sadly, probably, no. but unfortunately domain name registration started long before the realisation of the abuse that can be made of registering domains in the names of know companies and trademarks of such companies, and this is why now this issue is covered by legislation

Cool! Let's all think about 'legislation' before we strike up a fan blog!

I get where you're coming from but..
probably any online venture should be giving serious consideration before "jumping in" these days? and certainly there is enough history in this arena for site owners/web masters etc to know that they should beware of domain/site names that infringe trademarks or copyright as plenty of sites have already gone under for exactly these reasons.
this is the way the world works these days...

the legal team at SE seem rigid...with no flexibility by looking into the site is not affecting their business but helping
to me this look like some stupidity inherit from Sony since Sony is the dumb entity in the industry which for the last 10yrs or more failed to exploit their huge content to be integrated to their electronics gadget sold in the market.
they let company like Apple/ Amazon hammer them everyday with all this copyright and trademark plus other legal road block....remember how tough it is to get music into a sony walkman with all the DRM etc stuff..... so this action have no surprises.

I think the word's 'these days' says it all really.
So, no-one is allowed to type the words 'sony ericsson' or 'xperia' into google these days unless it leads to an official site, blog or, ...anything that is not officially sanctioned by the great white powers that be? Anything else should be wiped off the internet map?
I completely understand the legalistic view but come on? How can they reach out to developers in one breath and sideline and ban the very same people that work hard to keep the brand alive and kicking?

I think this extends far beyond blog sites and is really just the reality of these modern online times given the financial implications far beyond fan sites, and this needs to be accepted "these days"
"reaching out to developers" is obviously an official way of making some sites acceptable within their own rules though I suspect that even that (without actually reading their T&C's) is specifically accounted for...
I'm not a conformist but I am a realist... (who said that?... oh... I did
)

I must say I don't recognize
now. Actually I was wondering why they did this, but I won't anymore. They should of warned Xperia Blog. Does bad faith means making money out of the phones
sells to us?

for your first point, I'm sorry but what is "underground" when it is openly visible to the www?
secondly, there may not be any obvious implications but in any legal protection (pre or post internet), there is always a presumption by a trademark holder that there may, at some point, be influences outside their control that may actually affect their financial position on the stock markets or elsewhere
bloggers generally have an enthusiast point of view, which is to be recommended, but when such views allow comments that can negatively impact the value of the company due to their use of URL/domains that easily appear in searches, well that is when they start to protect their interests, if not before...
like I said. This is the real world of economics and it s not a world where all can do as they will, despite possible good intentions
