I wouldn't say never. Remember during the 2004 presidential campaign? John Kerry's father had set up a website to brag about his son - and it wasn't the John Kerry who was running for office. The campaign rather belatedly found the name taken not by a squatter, but by someone with as legitimate a reason as the "famous person."

Now the courts favor the individual or corporation whose name it is. It is called cyber squatting. It is not illegal, per se, but I would let the person know and possibly help them develop it. But you could never hold on to it.
