Default multi-domains for biz use

My company has about 20+ domains but only 4 actual web sites (2 are listed in my signature). We use the rest to capture users that may have forgotten the "real" domains and redirect them to the correct ones. It's helpful and a smart business move. I would recommend it to anyone trying to capture their audience.

We have been trying to acquire a .com domain that the registered "owner" has never used. It's annoying as no one returns any correspondence and the contact information listed in the WHOIS database is worthless.
I haven't looked into it at all from a legal perspective yet so I will ask the users here:
Is there any way for us to acquire the domain by forcing, or otherwise allowing, the current registered organization to release it? I don't want to get nasty about it, but it would be a different story if the domain was actually being used or if they would return our inquiries.

Thanks!
