    I don't think it is infringing, I mean there are other sites very similar too, like porntube, and others like so.

    Maybe I am wrong.

    say your name out loud... and could you really keep a straight face telling someone it wasnt an infringement? How about saying it to someone, would you have to explain it wasnt youtube.com? I think we both know it's an infringement, I wouldn't be investing money into something like that.

    Good for a lawsuit maybe. Personally, I would delete it and try and get my money back. Under ACPA they could take you to court over TM infringement for up to 100,000 USD (assuming you're US based)

    I don't really see a point in this purchase. How would yewtoob.com be easier to promote and monetize than bitemywire.com? Latter might be easier since certain celebrity was quoted saying that... :)

    I'd drop the name & get your money back if I were you.

    Wow, I didn't know this.

    I need to read more.

    I thought it only counted if I bought like youtube.info or something and like copied their script/site.

    I didn't know it counted for actual pronunciation and stuff.

    I thought you could because people buy typo domains of companies and stuff.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    I am contacting the registrar now.
