The problem is buying means nothing about whether it is legit or whether a company decides they want it. It only means you reserved it. Any disagreements are hashed out after the fact in court. It’s not a game that individuals can afford to win vs a corp

I’m of the mindset that you bought the domain you can do with it as you please. Where I think you’d get into “trouble” is if you were talking about piracy or something associated with their IP.
And the best possible outcome is they contact you and buy it for some much larger amount than you paid for it.

I wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole. Squatting on domains that contain a trademark with the purpose of forcing a company to pay you out for it is illegal.
