XBIZ NEWS: RedTube Claims WEG Leaked Trade Secrets, Cybersquats

LOS ANGELES ? In a suit marked by claims of cybersquatting to misappropriation of trade secrets, operators of RedTube.com last week filed a lawsuit against WEG, claiming the company scooped up a number of RedTube domain names with the intention to divert and acquire its traffic and profits.

Ahhhhh is someone taking something that doesn't belong to them? :1orglaugh



.

I wonder if weg could counter sue that they stole content from them.

The Chinese are taking over!!!

RedTube.com, whose parent company is Hong Kong-based Bright Imperial Ltd.....


Hmmm....follow the money!!!

LOL looks like someone needs t make as much money back as they lost in that lawsuit...

Now this is a shame, is someone taking something that doesn't belong to them?
THEFT comes to mind

you know something the rest of us don't?

so, i have to ask once again for an actual lawyer to comment..

how can a company, like Redtube, not allow a content owner to upload watermarked videos for free and still adhere to the Safe Harbor act.

If Redtube has the staff to review every video to check for watermarks, and disallow watermarks unless the submitter is paying for submissions, how can that same staff not review content for copyright infringement?

Is it possible for a class action lawsuit against Redtube and other tube sites that follow the same policy?

and its Boca Raton not Boca Ratan...

Interesting read.

Oh goodie! More tubes and lawsuits. This should be tons of fun to watch!

Good point.

:thumbsup

Didn't see that one coming. I'm surprised Red Tube would open lawsuit against someone, I would think that would make them more vulnerable to have their identity uncovered.

In a court of law only the specifics of the claims in the lawsuit can be addressed.

"XBIZ was unable to reach RedTube.com officials for comment by post time."

...shocker.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You dont remember them being sued for 40 million?

waaaaahhhhhh! too bad.

last i heard the case was ongoing

lol trade secrets ? there is no secret to getting "members" to fill up your site with stolen content.

are they normal ?

I imagine there are quite a few trade secrets, such as just how profitable they are and exactly who is uploading videos to them :)
WG

so let me get this straight-

WEG opened talks with redtube to buy it, received nda documents revealing tradesecrets.

WEG at ~the same time began buying redtube domain names.

WEG gives private documents to teen revenue, allowing them to sue redtube, based on info from docs

redtube burns $100s of thousands in cash in teenrev lawsuit

redtube files suit against WEG for disclosing nda docs and for cybersquatting?

is that about right?

Poor little thieves ...

:thumbsup

Doesn't Choopa own redtube ? That is what i have heard many times from many sources.:2 cents:

choopa really? can anyone confirm that

But, they do respond nearly instantly when you inquire about 70K + / month advertising positions. :winkwink:

Very simple, everything they do is illigal and they know it, you are just asking why they dont hide it!!!
Simple, you would need Millions to go after them and as they are based in hong kong you would most likely never stand a chance!
That is how the illigal tubes operate, very simple.

A picture is worth a thousand words. :thumbsup

I was beginning to think that I was the only one that got this.

The decission was made to sue before we had the docs and Red Tubes decission to go after Weg may be the wrong one.. :)

I wonder the legality behind an nda if the information disclosed admits an illegal act ?

Like if i offer to sell "joe tacos" , give the potential buyer an nda, then admit i steal all the taco meat from the animal shelter next door, would it be against the nda for the potential buyer to inform the animal shelter that the taco place is stealing from them ?

thx for clearing that up but i am quite surprised to see you admitting that weg gave you nda protected docs.

maybe this isn't pertinent in the litigation?

When everyone in the whole world, apart from you, knows who owns it?

You need to be able to seperate what is illegal and what is something people on gfy think is naughty. They are two very different things

I'm no attorney but IMO if teenrev had those docs and submitted them as evidence during the trial then the fat lady has sung.
