I heard he got an email from police demanding the take down of some kiddie porn which was really at Youtube. Maybe he should wait until he’s actually arrested and then sue Youtube eh? American prosecutors could never convict an innocent person with no evidence could they?

Also, if he sells the traffic he’ll be getting sued for sure. I think he has a grip on internet marketing its just not the same one held by email spammers, search engine spammers and irrelevant traffic sellers. He wants qualified traffic.

Saying a legal theory has not yet been endorsed by a federal circuit is not like saying it doesn’t exist. Numerous circuits have adopted initial interest confusion. It is unfortunate that IP law is different in different parts of the U.S. but that’s why we have appeals courts. If youtube can sue others for initial interest confusion in the 9th circuit then I don’t think a 6th circuit judge appeals court judge will have a problem using it against them. I don’t think it will be difficult to prove a “likelihood of confusion” when there are 2 million instances of actual confusion. Even standard trademark infringement doesn’t require an actual purchase.

Big companies have been taking domain names away from alleged cybersquatters for years. Now that some little guy is in a position to use those same perverted decisions against big business he’s seen as an opportunist.

UTube should be paying YouTube for the great boost in web traffic.

Out of 2 million views someone but be involved in industrial tubing!
Plus that kind of traffic is going to get you great search engine positioning!

UTube has obviously lost the plot, need a new web manager who can find a better ISP for their website, and get a grip on what web marketing is all about … hell … a grip on what any kind of marketing is!

This is a great example of the American obsession to sue for the sake of suing.
