- MichaelGG 11y agoTook me several re-reads to realise it wasn't a paid Redtube subscription. The music part is what got me.
- angersock 11y ago...you don't like the music on Redtube videos? :|
- minot 11y agoWell, RedTube and PornHub were named pretty much after YouTube no matter how much they want to try to deny it.
- eric_h 11y agoI suspect you mean RedTube and YouPorn.
- minot 11y agoAh yes. I may have inadvertently typed almost by habit o.O and now I will try to distract the reader by mentioning something about keystroke dynamics. I wonder if I type pornhub in a different way than any one else does If you didn't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_dynamics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_dynamics
- carlob 11y agoMaybe RedTube and YouPorn, not really PornHub.
- coldpie 11y agoYeah. The first thing I thought "YouTube is getting into porn, now?". Unfortunate branding, here.
- noja 11y agoIt reminded me of Bono's brand.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoThat is the obvious connection. The interesting part is does Redtube sue them for trademark infringement? Who gets the "red" and who gets the "tube" ? :-) Frankly I'm surprised Google hasn't preemptively gone after them for infringement.
- apocalyptic0n3 11y ago> Who gets the "red" and who gets the "tube" ? Your first time, you get both. ;) But really, this is horrible branding by Google.
- milge 11y agoMy guess is that Google can't. Tube was slang for boob tube or tv way before youtube existed.
- seiji 11y agoFacebook sues people for Face* names. Not an entirely unprecedented precedent. The real problem is you never know when you'll be sued for going too far. The only way to find out is to go too far and hope it doesn't happen. (like, the existence of YouTube itself)
- avinassh 11y ago> Facebook sues people for Face* names. wow, can they do that? Any instances of past cases? So, does that mean if I create a social network with `Face*` name, they can sue me?
- seiji 11y agohttp://money.cnn.com/2010/08/26/technology/teachbook/ http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/26/technology/teachbook/ is one case from the *Book part.

- fideloper 11y agoNot only that, but of how Project Red is often "PRODUCT Red" when partnering with consumer brands.
