Hey YouTube, I own your ass, i just dare you to sue me into the next generation... YouTube Classifieds I know the law, and you dont... because this is my disclaimer: Domain Name Disclaimer:This classifieds/website is NOT associated, endorsed or link with Google, INC or YouTube, LLC in any ways.YouTube trademark belong to their respective owners.
Lol. That's almost as bad as the people on YouTube who post feature length films without permission and then write, "No copyright infringement intended" as some sort of magical wizard shield which will protect them from lawsuits.
Oh, to possibly make money off of the YouTube mark without the mark holder's consent, perhaps? Possibly, anyway, considering the current content of that website. As noted, a disclaimer is often used as some magical shield to protect against lawsuits or liability. It may or may not work, depending on the circumstances of a particular case. Whether or not Google will pursue that website is solely up to them despite what others think.
In my view ,registering a domain name does not infringe any ones copywriter ,Provided your website should not copy any trademarks , copying and Creating fake duplicate website etc ..
copyright - copying someone else's content/site/work.... Trademark - copying someone else's trade name or attempting to use their trade name in your url for traffic deception.
Actually, a trademark and a trade name are two separate things as well. The first is a form of intellectual property, while the second isn't unless it's used like the first. Not exactly among the best references, but this should succinctly differentiate the two: http://www.businesslawpost.com/2010/12/trade-name-vs-trade-mark.html
Thanks for improvising On topic : Copyright infringement is only trouble maker , no matter how small , big , type of it is ..
He he, it may feel that way. That tidbit I shared isn't even a law AFAIK, but rather an idea or principle that many people - especially in government - happen to understand and agree with. Bit off-topic: I once read that the more laws are crafted, the supposedly less morals a society in general has. Not just those in power, but the citizens within that society as well. Something to think about perhaps, especially if you indeed own that domain name and if you don't care about Google/YouTube's legal, material right.
What I wonder about is whether anybody ELSE gets to own, or have rights to anything, with all these government subsidies disguised as laws, "ideas or principles." Historically, copyrights, trademarks and such were understood to merely represent a temporary local monopoly over distribution granted to publishers or exhibitors (not the creators). It was meant to provide a short term window for a publisher to recover their costs, or for a business to launch, not as a perpetual, state controlled competition shield. It was never supposed to be the indefinite, globally enforced intellectual property monstrosity it is now treated as. The fact that the internet has restored a bit of defacto public domain to the distribution of ideas, in content or title form, is a good thing.
Rather than explain, I think the article in this link covers it better: http://www.trademark.iastate.edu/basics/ Just quoting a few excerpts: All that may seem unfair to some people, yet they serve a (limited) purpose to the general public. At least for trademarks, anyway.
How would you feel if someone used your brand in their url? Google/YouTube probably have more money then God, and if not, then they are surely up their on the money later, so if they should decide to pursue the url that is using their trademark, then I do not see them having much problem winning another domain.... Unless you have permission, you just can not decide you want to use YouTube's trademark for your own profiting purposes, and it is highly unlikely they need to give out such permission for some little bitty classified site that does not seem to have anything to offer them....
