<Journalist speaking>

Actually, no, it's a story that was done a million times
years ago.   And, looking at this logically, your chances
of actually losing traffic to a .tk site are basically
zero, and any hack worth his/her salt would notice that
you don't own the .com and wonder why in god's name you're
worried about .tk and not that.

Or, for that matter, why the people who bought .com before
you registered *your* 'copycat' domain aren't a more
sympathetic subject for an article.  Pots, kettles, etc.

Sorry to be blunt, but I think you might have lost some
perspective here.
