This seems really well put together, but I can't help but wonder how long until it gets a takedown notice from Google?

Using Google in the domain name alone is enough for it to be taken down.

On the other hand: http://www.paypalsucks.com

Here is a good reading from the Electronic Frontier Foundation on domains like that:

"Avoiding Gripes About Your Gripe (or Parody) Site": https://www.eff.org/wp/tips-shutting-down-g

Another classic http://www.untied.com

I never understood this well.

For example the case of YouTube mp3 (http://www.youtube-mp3.org/).

In past Google tried to stop YouTube mp3 because of violations to the YouTube Terms of Service, but, if it is true that it only suffices using someone else's trademark in a domain for the owner to shut your domain down, then why did never Google attack it on this side?
