    I highly doubt it, it is pronounced very differently.

    I was thinking of using it for a proxy, but if all have legal problems all just forward the domain to go to youtube.com

    The person is giving bad information to sell a domain. It's trademark infringement and while getting an award against the owner may be more difficult, taking the domain wouldn't.

    I also read that India's Union Cabinet approved India's accession to the Madrid Protocol - which means they would agree to recognize international trademarks - and youtube (and similar) is certainly a protected trademark.

    You can't register a similar domain name to ride the goodwill established by someone else.
