Ok, so tube=tv
I thought it was underground transportation/metro.
Thanks for the clarification :thumbsup

There was a small hot dog stand near me called "Wee-Dee's" and I guess had been around forever.

The maker of the cereal "Wheaties" sued them to force them to change their name.

You never know when a big company will get a bug up it's ass or bad advice from lawyers on the payroll who could care less about their image and decide to sue someone.

Obviously, don't go making a fruit juice called PepsiJuice but you never know what a big company will do or waste it's resources on.

yeah right. i very much doubt it. probably was some random reg thinking in terms of pussy or dick being a "sex tube" or something similar

Tube also = underground/metro :)

Older TV's were basically a huge cathode ray tube, I guess that's where they got that from.

In my earlier post, the TV show, The Tube, didn't actually derive it's name from tube = TV though. :)

I haven't read all of the other threads about this but from your logic...

Shouldn't,
sex.com sue you
tube.com sue you
or any other domain with sex or tube in it sue you
?

If you registered sextube before youtube shouldn't you,
sue youtube.com
sue redtube.com
or any other domain with tube in the name
?

Do they have the trademark?

Guys I don't make the law. I'm just following it.

LOL you guys are great for a laugh. Yeah I was thinking of a tube to put your dick in. Sure. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thats ok I see your full videos on "sex tube" sites all the time! :thumbsup
So maybe its karma you did what you did. :1orglaugh

btw are you really as stupid as your post? We have a trademark on SexTube. How is that related to RedTube?

Depends where you are from.

I think people are getting confused. You own a trademark for 'sextube' as opposed to 'sex' and 'tube' right?

Shap, now you're getting cocky... This thread wasn't necessary.

Correct.

If you are going to spend time and money on a site why not trade mark it..?
Most companies TM their main URLs/names or ones they are going to drop money into developing a brand around

Agreed. time to log off and head home.

Thanks for the reality check :winkwink: I knew that blackjack chip would come in handy! :thumbsup

Which is what I thought all along. It's been apparent from early on that people think it's 'sex' and 'tube'.

:1orglaugh

Either way, if youtube had never come along it would never be the site it is now.

I'd be a fool to argue with you.

Was it a winner or loser?

wow. I wish twistys the best.

Did you read your post? How did it make any sense?

Time to download some porn torrents!

that is common sense..

what about generic words in other languages turned into english

I won and then let it ride and lost :( Lost a lot of money that night.

Is that what you did when you registered ThumbZilla ?

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

they didn't register thumbzilla, they bought it :2 cents:

from King Kong?

trademarks are so 90s

In plain English - cheat, lie, steal, and fuck eberybody over on your way up, once you get the Maybach it's very unlikely that the babes will ask you how you made your money, word!

Good advice if you plan on mimicking another site to fool the public into thinking it's an already trademarked site or violating their intellectual property by using trademarked banners, photos, text, etc...

Really irrelevant advice if you plan on buying a generic domain name for a generic purpose that THOUSANDS of sites are already doing.. Yeah online porn tube sites for example.

Sending letters means nothing, spending 10s of thousands in court to get a domain name and actually succeed is entirely different. Ask Ford, ask paypal, ask ebay. :thumbsup

but if you have a trademark on the made-up word "sextube" how can three generic words "hard sex tube" be infringing?

Cool advice.
