I couldn’t find much information about copyright laws on domain names. The closest I found is the following, which is the copyright law for domain names in China:
[QUOTE]
1. The civil rights and interests requiring protection in the proceeding are legal and valid;
2. The defendant’s domain name or the main part thereof is the replication, imitation, translation or transliteration of plaintiff’s well-known trademark, or is the same as or similar with the registered trademark, domain name of the plaintiff, capable of causing confusion among relevant public;
3. The defendant neither has rights and interests in the domain name or the main part thereof, or has any justifiable reason for registering, using the domain name; and
4. The defendant is malicious in registering, using the domain name.

Does this mean that I can register a domain like num1microsoft.com as long as I’m not “malicious”?
