And your experience of Internet law pertaining to domain name disputes is...?

Check especially the section on "dilution". As a dot com, any name dispute would be handled by InterNIC under US law. I am not a lawyer, but as a registrar of UK, US and European TLDs it is my business to keep abreast of domain name law and saying "My company name is Xara Template so legally theirs nothing I could be sued for unless I claim to be xara.com" is naïve at best.
If Magix/Xara do not dispute your retention of the domain name it is only because they feel your use of it helps to promote their product without diluting the value of their trade mark. Feel free to ignore anything I have said, most people do.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
