Domain names and legal stuff

Lets take this as an example:

somewordsyoutube.com


Is this a bad idea?

I mean, youtube is a trademark but it is also 2 english words you+tube.

do you want to fight google?

"rights" have nothing to do with "see you in court asshole!"

Once you have run up a few legal bills you will start to see it just isnt worth the trouble and expense to even go down that avenue to begin with ..win or lose....

save your money...not worth the traffic from the domain. I have an awsome one with the words red tube in it and I will be letting it expire.

with trademarks many companies will not bother you if it does not infringe to much, but as soon as the website gets popular you will receive that C & D email.

if you use those youtube words displaying video = fucked for sure
