I am sorry why am I being and ass? he owns a trademarked domain that he built illegally with stolen content and using our trademark? We sent a letter asking him to turn it over, thats his problem, if Steve would like his domain back thats up to him, and if he has the trademark we would by law have to turn it over wouldn't we.I could give two shits wether you read this sig or not.Comment

Check ours for any stolen content we are 100% legit, and always have been even when people called us out no one found a single link that had illegal content instead we advertise the sites completely, by surrounding their videos with contextual ads.
We police every video on our sites and check with the users who do submit to double check the age and verification of the videos. We also invite sponsors to submit and work closely with many to make sure their videos get the most clicks and sales we make money 100% as affiliate based tubes.I could give two shits wether you read this sig or not.Comment

If hardsextube.com needs to find a great lawyer to defend his position with ICANN, contact me. I'd be glad to help. Any domain owners with generic domains need to make sure their domain rights are protected against reverse domain hijackers.- Free Premium Domain Lists and Tools at Clickmojo.com

I don't claim to be a trademark lawyer, but from what I have heard / been told, if you know of a site infringing on your trademark, and don't take action, you could potentially lose your mark.
So I don't think it has anything to do with "abusing a policy", but I think it has everything to do with protecting their mark.Comment

if hardsextube.com had an alexa rank of 5 million would you guys still be going through all of this?Comment

Registration date and even trademark date isn't as important as USAGE.
"What are common law rights?
Federal registration is not required to establish rights in a trademark. Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark."
Arguably, since "tube" isn't yet technically considered a generic term referring to a website with videos on it, YouTube could have the jump on all sites with "tube" in them that are operating a similar style video site because such sites are piggybacking on the popularity of YouTube, which has had common law trademark rights since its first usage of YouTube as a video site. From the looks of things, SexTube was still under construction in at least part of 2006 while YouTube was very much in use as a video site.
All that said, given SexTube's usage began before HardSexTube and they are trademarked, they probably will win. But if I were them or any other tube site with "tube" or possibly even "you" in the name, I would not be surprised if sometime in the future, YouTube knocks on their door. Google has bullied others out of their domains/sites before and will gladly do it again with their ridiculous amount of lawyers/money.
What I don't get are people that support copyright infringement but not trademark infringement or vice versa. I don't think Shap would look bad at all in this thread if he wasn't supporting tube sites with stolen content or had typo domains. There's a difference between protecting your trademark/wanting law upheld and thinking law should only apply to you when you can benefit from it and not when you're breaking it or supporting those that break it. You can do whatever you want, but don't be surprised when others don't take kindly to it.Last edited by PornMD; 03-02-2009, 01:01 PM.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?

If Steve didn't know about it or any other names that you guys own have trademarks in them it's still trademark infringement. The law isn't broken if you refuse to hand it over it's broken when you used someone elses trademark to make money.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_infringement
"Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attaching to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees (provided that such authorization was within the scope of the license)."

Funny thing on that I have had more people hit me up today because of this thread so thats why i keep bumping it, I really don't care what people think, its making me money the more this stays at the top, and in the end we will get the domain, I dont really put faith in GFY legal opinions I pay lawyers for their opinions.I could give two shits wether you read this sig or not.Comment

BTW thanks for everyone hitting the site, looks like best day ever on http://www.sextube.com keep it up.I could give two shits wether you read this sig or not.Comment

Yeah, it`s the time of crisis. Low-lives will do everything to make a buck. Some of them hit surfers with hidden prechecked crossales, others steal content and others steal domains.
I just dropped all Twistys links, good dayComment

I think almost everyone here bitching about trademark law really does not understand it very well. Go read up on it for about 10 minutes and you will count the people who know what they are talking about on one hand in this thread.Comment

I dropped them too. If a lot of affiliates drop them then maybe that will teach them a lesson. This needs to be posted on all of the adult forums so everyone can see that Michael thinks it is ok to go after people while doing the same thing.
