I'm just dumbfounded by this. How can "sextube" or "gaytube" be registered trademarks? Isn't it the same as say, "freeporn" (which cant be trademarked)?

And taking away domains like hardsextube.com from people is totally fucked IMO. It looks like you trademarked your names just so that you can take away all the other names from people.
We trademarked SexTube and GayTube for the same reason we trademarked Twistys. To protect our investments.

We registered SexTube before YouTube was even registered. Back then tube was not a common term used online.

I appreciate your thoughts. We are simply following our lawyers advice. I'm not here to get into a debate of what is right or wrong.
