or maybe it was that the domain sextube.com was taken, he wanted sex in his tube site and he started generating new words that included sex tube and still made sense.
Microsoft argued they had a right to buy a generic word out of the dictionary too (lindows.com vs microsoft) and the judge ruled against that arguement, which is why they settled for 10 million dollars.
Funny thing is that now that they have uniquely coined phrase they can stop all the varients (bindows, etc) as an infringement of lindows.com.
