I've just visted http://www.ferrari.us and it seems the owner is using to sell cars. Is this legal and why isn't Ferrari doing anything about it?

So what will happen if someone registers a country-coded Ferrari domain name such as Ferrari.tv or Ferrari.bz and tries to sell it on eBay?

Ferrari is a common Italian surname. It depends on how you use the DN.
If a Ferrari family set up a personal web site, it would be a valid use.
If you used the DN to profit from the products or TM of Ferrari motorcars, you would get nailed. I would guess that Ferrari has a TM / SM / copyright on the name as far as their automobiles and apparal go, it would be easy to check this at TESS.

What if you are a licensed Ferrari dealer and are using the DN to sell Ferrari cars? Then not only will you profit from the website, but so will Ferrari. It's a win/win situation IMO.
