What does "bad faith" mean in the context of a domain name?

Under the MYDRP Policy, a domain name is considered to have been registered and/or used in bad faith in instances which include disruption of Complainant's business, to sell or transfer the domain for profit to the Complainant or use which is identical or confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark or service mark.
The Respondent may defend the registration or use of the domain name by demonstrating rights or legitimate interests in the domain name, such as being commonly known by that name.
