ICANN doesn't agree with you. And I really don't think you do either.
Because that makes you liable for the domain name as well. This means
that if that domain name is found to be infringing on a trademark,
that you are the one responsible, not your customer.

See above. ICANN doesn't say so.
Your logic is not only wrong, but it is not well thought out as to the
full consequences of this line of thinking.
