My own understanding of reverse-hijacking is where someone who starts a 
new business (perhaps without checking first) later discovers that the 
domains that would be "nice to have" are already registered to someone 
else. Normally they'd be thwarted by "first come first served" or 
"register your mark before I register the domain" rules, but 
nevertheless they try to bully/cheat their way into getting the domain 
transferred.
