Unless your intentions are not of a financial gain?
It's not even "financial gain". It seems that genuine protest sites (*sucks.com and the like) have been granted certain immunities (especially in the US with various free speech laws). But building a site on a domain incorporating a trademark on the subject of that trademark is genuinely a no-no even if you're not monetising it. And building a site on a domain incorporating a well-known trademark is a no-no for ANY reason (except genuine protest, but expect a letter from their lawyers sooner rather than later anyway)
