Actually no! If npm allowed him to register the name and if npm had no such copyright checks in place then the user is not at all wrong here. He came, he saw that the name he wanted was available and he used it. He was turkish, I bet he had no idea that such a company even existed and furthermore seeing that the company didn't even use the reassigned name to publish a package simply implies that they wanted the name just to feel good about owning it. Kik should have been sued in a class action suite just to cause these turn of events.
