Even in the days of the US giving people the right to claim land out west, there was a requirement that you actually had to work the land.

That doesn't seem to be the case here. Personally I would like PocketBook to obtain the pocketbook.com domain (by buying it), but it doesn't appear the name is currently owned by domain troll. They're using "pocketbook" in the sense of "wallet" and they offer financial services. Their Pocketbook site offers a financial calculator with the intent, I'm sure, of getting you to use their financial services. I think my brother used this site once, a few years back.
Here's a link to the UDRP decision in case you (or anyone) is interested. The Panel found that PocketBook met one of the three requirements in their dispute, but not the other two.

By the way, I agree with you about domain trolls. I feel the same about them as I do about patent trolls.
