wow im surprised this thread is getting so much attention. maybe its because people see sex and tube as being generic, but if this was hardcoretwistys.com, i doubt anyone would mind shap protecting his TM.

You're right, because those examples are VERY different.

if sextube was too generic, i'm sure CIPO/USPTO would have denied the tm application.

If the domain in question was hardcoretwistys.com or something similar I would have no problem with Shap taking the domain through legal action.

Ok one last comment then I'm off to spend time with my precious superstar baby boy
![]() I know for most of you it's not conceivable that I don't want the traffic. I have enough traffic I don't have to troll for someone elses. The problem is we've invested heavily in SexTube. Both in our Tube version and our paysite. We run SexTube.com 100% legal. Take a look at hardsextube there is a lot of questionable content on his site. Some content that I feel pushes the young envelope. The last thing I need is for a site like hardsextube to bring heat and hassle to our site that we've worked so hard on. The key for us is that our mark is protected and there is no confusion between the two. Just because there is no confusion to you doesn't mean a surfer or a judge would see it that way. We've actually had to fight one company that registered officialsextube.com then they registered Sex Tube Inc. I had people hitting me up asking about my new company. That isn't good for my business. I understand why some of you are defending hardsextube. You have to understand there are two sides to this. |

A sex tube or a porn tube is about as generic as you can get for how to describe these sites.

I think this thread is blown way out of proportion. This is a business taking the advice of their lawyers to protect its intellectual property. The legal argument is to exercise control over the quality of the product or service of its trademarks. It's the sole reason people bother to get trademarks in the first place.
![]() I am curious to see the outcome though. Ford went after forums and club sites last year, ordering them to pay fines and surrender the domain names. However, in court they were only able to stop these sites from using photographs, depictions or silhouettes, or any similar variation that infringed on Ford's intellectual property. The actual domain name itself was not deemed as an "identifier" of Ford.

lol ok this thread made my day .. I thought being hung the fuck over today was going to be no fun...
But its been as much fun as watching http://www.hardsextube.com/?search=paris+hilton And if the current owner of http://www.hardsextube.com/ .. is still reading this thread.. clean up your site for fuck sakes... User submitted or not some videos should never be put live,,, Shap would be doing the world a fav by knocking you offline after seeing the videos I just saw on your site.. I cant even screen cap that shit. (I'd post the reqired proof but considering what it is I wont and can't... As for the copyright and all that I'm not a legal eagle but right or wrong in the public eye I think Shap is within his rights here.. And its possible that he is legally obligated to send out the notices to keep his own copy right.. |

I could cite dozens of completely generic worthless trademarks to convince you, but I don't have the time. How about one case in point, remember voyeur.com? Shap's trademark claim for "sex tube" is worthless. He just doesn't know it. |

If Shap comes out of this thread with a solution agreed with the owner of the site then it speaks volumes for him as a man. I honestly hope he doesn't just take the site off the guy in Court. It seems like a big site and an awful lot of work has gone into it. Would be a shame to see it taken away.
I will admit, after reading to page 3 I was calling Shap an asshole too, but I think he will work something out with the guy and like I said, if he does, kudos to him. |

Ok. Now I'm off. I tried contacting the owner of hardsextube on icq for the past 45 minutes with no reply. We'll see if he wants to work something out.
For those of you defending him you might want to visit his site. Check out the videos and tell me if you'd want your Trademark and domain confused with his. |

its not about YOUR opinion... its about what US Law, international law, ICAAN and the WIPO thinks.... and there is no such thing as a "worthless trademark" anymore than there is any such thing as a "worthless patent" - either it exists or it doesn't. if it exists, its valid until found to be invalid in a court of law in some particular jurisdiction. |

There's got to be a compromise somewhere here. Obviously hardsextube had no mal intentions of infringing on sextube since no site even existed when the hardsextube domain was registered and developed. Shap, why not ask him for a permanent twistys banner spot or permanent text links to your other tube sites in exchange for not pursuing acquisition of his domain.

Perhaps lawmakers are fully aware of the potential for cannibalism within this industry. Knowing full well that greed can destroy the best of things, their allowance of takeovers like this (regardless of the intentions of the trademark owner) sets a precedence that most likely will be followed to the nth degree until the faeces hits the oscillating unit and the industry implodes, engulfed by the stench of hypocrisy regarding opposing views about domain name freedom on the internet. It is best that everyone involved in this situation think long and hard about what legal precedence will be set and how this can potentially blow up in all of our faces...and pockets...over the the long term. *crumples tin foil hat into a tight ball and tosses it out of the window*

Yes, it's generic but not for a porn magazine. If they had chosen "PornMagazine.com" then that'd be more like this current situation.

So the problem is that this guy is trying to protect his TM for what you all consider generic terms, sex and tube.
So what if I registered a domain hardfreeones.com. Free and ones are generic terms, so therefore I should be able to have this domain, right? |
