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.

I wonder if the person who owns "tube" trademarks it and then you would be in violation of his trademark.
where does the madness end.
Twistys is a lot more unique and original name then "sextube" Also whoever owns " xtube " could sue you and have an open shut case. If you think hardsextube infringes on sextube then sextube definitelty infringes on xtube.
Not saying you shouldn't trademark sextube. If you don't want anyone to use "sextube" then you trademark it. Would give you a good case if someone buys the .net or .org. But just because you own sextube and you trademark it doesn't mean you will have a case to go after people who own hardcoresextube or livesextube or lesbiansextube etc etc.... Also I take it your lawyer gets paid by the hour, sometimes you have to take that into consideration too.
yes I know this thread is old.
