    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.

    Copyrights and trademarks are two separate things.

    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:

    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....
