24 Websites Named in Manwin Cybersquatting Suit

Manwin has filed suit against the operators of 24 more websites with domains that are similar to its YouPorn.com, Tube8.com, xHamster.com and Pornhub.com properties.

In June the adult entertainment conglomerate filed another suit against operators of 28 domains that had variants to its stable of domains.

The latest suit asks for $2.4 million in damages against at least 10 John Doe defendants who operate YouPorn-Deutsch.com, YouPornHard.com, YouPorn-Nederlandse.com, Free-YouPorn.com, RedTube-YouPorn.com, UPorno.com, YouPorn.Milf-Fucking.info, YouPorn-Beurette.com, YouPornCams.com, YouPorn fr.com, YouPorn-fr.net, YouPorn-HQ.com, YouPornHubSexe.com, YouPornMobile.corn, YouPorn oz.corn, YouPornSexy.com, YouPorn-X.corn, YouPornYourself.com, YPLF.com, Tube8.org, Tube-8 .info, Tube8Sexy.com, Tube8-fr.com and xHamsterTube8.com.

Manwin said it is unaware of the true names or capacities of the Does and that all of the domain names in the suit direct users to adult-oriented content and services that directly compete with Manwin properties.

The sites named in the suit, filed last month, include those in French, German, Dutch and English languages. One site is designed for mobile use.

The complaint, filed at U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeks $100,000 per domain property for violating the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, injunctions from operating the infringing sites, transfers of the sites to Manwin and attorneys fees.

One thought is that Facebook's Trademark Suit Against Faceporn Is Dismissed (see LINK), or is it a different thing altergether?

I can see the problem with most of those, but IMHO I think they have a more difficult case against YPLF.com.

FUCK MANWIN!

It amazes me that they have the balls to sue anyone after they made million stealing from all of us.

IF you work for and with Man/Fabian/Brazzers/Babes You are pure scum trash all the same.

If you shoot for Manwin/Brazzers/Babes You are pure trash all the same.

If you promote any website owned by ManwinBrazzers/Babes You are pure trash all the same.

Dean Capture just recently sold out, who's next?

Manwin also decided to copy x-art who started the White Glamour Passion style content.
This industry is now extremely pathetic. No one can come up with original ideas.
These new passion sites are ALL THE SAME. SAME GIRLS, SAME GUYS DOING THE SAME THING. People are so stupid.

If those were your domains how would you protect yourself from this?

Do you just switch to some bizarre offshore domain registrar?

Obviously its probably not worth defending for the owner

At the end of the day, this is business and they seems to do it well. If some of you guys was the owner of manwin, not sure you'd had the same opinion. They probably have about 500M gross sale/year, who would spit on it?

If they do it in california (which by no coincidence they are), where Verisign is located, they can get a court order, and get the domain shut down, regardless of where the whois says the owner is located..

It's fucked up, and gives foreign domain owners no due process.

Dude, it is hard enough making a living producing content for cheapo webmasters that think their Uncle can shoot content or some idiot with a digital camera. A few of us maintain thousands of dollars worth of equipment, drag it along on locations, take a chance of being busted by Vice and putting up with talent that don't give a rats ass about being late to a shoot. Don't blame Dean Capture for selling out, blame the people that are not willing to pay for good content, and the webmasters that sit around playing with their cocks for not taking a stand.
