Is https://www.bitcoin.com a valid implementation of the bitcoin protocol?  How are they able to use the name? Does anyone know who is behind it?

It's not related to our project. Apparently it's some company called Bitcoin Ltd. The page has been saying "alpha test coming soon" since the last summer at least.

It's unrelated. There wasn't anything there when I started.

The price of .com registrations is lower than it should be, therefore any good name you might think of is always already taken by some domain name speculator. Fortunately, it's standard for open source projects to be .org.
