"they knew about me owning the domain, they did nothing, that would be express permisoin to use it".
They can come after you whenever they so desire to do so and are not giving permission by any lack of action on their part.

Can I use trademarked names or products in my book?
A trademark is a word or symbol that identifies a product or service of the trademark owner and is used to distinguish it from the products or services of others. A trademark prevents use of a product name, slogan, or symbol by a competitor and also protects against damage to public goodwill associated with a specific product or service. It is permissible for a fictional character to drink a Coke or read Sports Illustrated. Your legal risk would be increased, however, if your use could potentially injure public perception of a trademarked name or product or cause confusion as to the ownership of a trademark. Also, you are at risk if you use a trademark as part of the title or subtitle of your book.
