That's trademarks, not copyright, and they get it transfered IF they request it and the original owner did not have a valid reason to use that domain with the trademarked name/phrase.
And either way, reusing previously malicious domains for legit purposes is probably THE WORST method ever of accidentally (?) training users to fall for scams. Because then you train the user that whatever sign they look for of it being fake isn't "good enough" to reject it as a scam, so they are forced to accept *everything* instead. (Or to stop using the service.)
