Hi, there

I have a domain "you"+"a word"+"tube".com

So can I provide the video link dump service with this name?

You know sometimes people may submit their favorite youtube video links on my site, I wonder will this cause some domain legal issues?

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

google just reportedly paid 1.6 BILLION for the youtube service, even when they already had one of the top 5 video sharing services. I would guess they would want to protect that investment vigorously.

Same keywords with the same basic niche -- yes, I can see a lotta problems arising from this

Thank you for the suggestions.

Sad, have to continue the link dump service, otherwise, this domain is useless :)

OR, it is a good anti youtube domain name, but why anti youtube? :)

Here is a good rule to live by....

If you register a name because it is similar to a TM that you are very well aware of and plan to use it in the same catagory, chances are your actions are in bad faith...

I'm guess the stars are for 'fu*king' right? That, in your use, is an adjetive -- and a commonly used one, at that. It seemingly doesn't really "describe" so it could be argued that it's being used as a verb, which would be inaccurate but nonetheless... You(noun)Tube.com is safe, depending on the noun but You(adjective)Tube.com might get you into trouble.

I like the name but I don't think they'd like being associated with vulgarity :(
