Can a registered trademark company (for example called "sharedpleasures") claim a copyright infringment if I purchase a domain like: pleasureswillbeshared.com ?!
 


I had some domains in the newspaper subscription business that were nabbed from me by the Tribune company. However it has to be obvious that the domain name is their name and not the meaning of something else.
 
It depends on strength of trademark (if any), and consumer behavior.

If you registered softmicro dot tld and put content about anything software, that
could create issues with Microsoft. But that's because Microsoft is very well-known
(almost) around the world.

Beyond that, especially with your example, OP, you should be good to go.
