Nope. You're misusing the term. I'm not buying or selling any good or service, so my holding onto the domain could not in any way be described as a use in commerce.

Also, my use is not anywhere close to what is covered by the trademark:

Yeah, the closest I come to that is in talking about it; I am not a dealer in the content myself.
