Do they care about the "youtube" trademark used in other domains?

• pg_ 18y ago
  For this reason, they should have instead named it pwntube.com

    To many people (not really versed in internet culture) that would be pronounced [pawn/porn]tube, with the connotations such a name brings. "Mom can I go on pwntube to get a video for my homework?" "WHAT?!?! PORNTUBE!?!? NO!!!" ;)

      Perhaps... but who cares? I doubt the people that made this site really care about the hypothetical kid in your example.
      • babul 18y ago
        who cares Those who want their sites/products to go mainstream without ridicule (ExpertSexChange.com/ExpertsExchange.com is a popular example) or false negative impression/bias. This is why people often spend a lot of time to choose a name carefully, especially when you consider the long-term branding and marketing.

  pwnyoutube.com claims fair use: "PWN!" is a frequently used word on the Internet, the meaning of which clearly makes the words "PWN! YouTube" a parody.

    Warning to folks who this is true: trademark and copyright law are different entities. There's no such thing as "fair use" for trademarks.
