Erm. No, RFC2606 specifically says:
3. Reserved Example Second Level Domain Names
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) also currently has the
following second level domain names reserved which can be used as
examples.
example.com
example.net
example.org
4. IANA Considerations
IANA has agreed to the four top level domain name reservations
specified in this document and will reserve them for the uses
indicated.
In other words, they're IANA reserved, and you're permitted to use them
for the purposes listed in the RFC.
