Karma's going to own your ass big someday Shap, and you'll deserve every bit of it. I really used to think you were alright, a pretty good guy. All these bitch moves you're making lately though, maybe it's who you always were or just who you've become. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Scrooge.

For me i thought the internet and adult internet was a business and that someone using a trademarked term to build a site on (since you seem to have a hard on for hardsextube.com lets use them) is in violation just like if you started fuckingplayboy.com or anything else baseing your site on a trademarked term. Not his fault they built a site on a trademark term should have researched it first, if I start bangbustube.com tomorrow i am guessing they will be coming for me at some point.

Just my :2 cents: but I would have researched my domains first, then started sites.

Sorry, but if you don't see the difference in trademarks on Playboy and SexTube youre an idiot.

Let's be realistic here. Someone having hardsextube.com name in no way collides with your sextube.com site. You just want to take away some juicy names and you're hiding behind the "our lawyer did it" excuse.

Disgusting.

A common webmaster isn't going to have that money or growth.

You're right it's bullshit things can get through that shouldn't. I'm not blaming twistys here but anything that won't hold up in court for a trademark should never be able to be trademarked.

But it's not just trademarks, people get sued for all kinds of shit these days. You can sue someone for anything, no matter if they are guilty or not.

We are just following our lawyer's advice and protecting our investments.

hardsextube was created even before you had your name trade marked, you wont be getting the name, it has trademark in its own country.

Maybe it has to be the fact that hardsextube has way more traffic than sextube.

Whatever your laywer is telling you, it wont happen, ever.

Check the registration date of the trademark if you don't see it you are insane, and the value of the sextube trademark to me is worth as much as the playboy one. If you think it isn't you wouldnt be posting here.

Actually Is someone started a site called Fuckingplayboy.com and it was totally ANTI playboy, then playboy could hate it all they would but would have to deal with it. Not totally sure how it works with monetizing the domain but http://paypalsucks.com/ has been around for years and is protected under freespeech.

would you even ask that question if it was say midgetplayboy.com?

But Playboy is a trademark that is branded and well known..
Not someone trying to bully with keywords...

So you guys pretty much can go after anyone making any sort of fetish sex tube..

NOW.. I doubt it'd hold up in court... seriously doubt it... maybe a few years ago, but not now.

But no one in porn right now has your money or power... so they'd kinda give in.

Actually paypal allows them to use the domain, if they wanted to they could take it, ask your lawyer.

It looks like sextube.com was registered in 2004, well before hardsextube. Is that not true?

Furious_Male 03-02-2009 01:26 PM

That's a great business plan. The number of active sites using "Sextube" in the domain is pretty staggering. Get control of even half of them and you have an empire.

No sense in registering any remaining domains now or going after any low traffic sites. Wait until your average webmasters gets a good amount of traffic flowing to a site with the trademarked name in it. Then have the lawyers try to take it from them.

I hope he loses some WIPOs and gets branded as a reverse domain hijacker. I can overlook mpahlca's comments though since he's PAID for his loyalty.

Code:

My domain is a registered trademark in hungary (hard sex tube)
i'll tell the guy not to worry about it
he's in hungary, i doubt Twistys will start a lawsuit to get the domain back ( especially one that's international)
and if they want it back that bad, they can make it an offer

Thats true, but the trademark date, and ICANN looks at trademarks not just in USA/CAN, which only covers shaps trademarks, hardsextube is in hungary, which they own the trademark for.

I dont see the site changing hands anytime soon, or ever for that matter

Shap 03-02-2009 01:29 PM

It's a very ingenious way to throw your power, money around... especially knowing your average webmaster is just concentrating on paying his mortgage and automobile notes... not looking to play the trademark game..

Whether you have the legal right to it or not.. is NOT the point of this thread..

The point is the level of bullying it is..
and that 7 years ago.. you would have guffaw'd and scoffed and been astounded at someone doing this..

It just goes to show.. money and power.. and the ability to use that money and power.. changes people...

There's MAYBE 10-15 webmasters on here who could compete with you legally.. and you know it..

and I'm THANKING God I never went keyword crazy with tube words lol

A lot of typos for other peoples sites in there too. Guess that highlights the hypocrisy even more.

Shap 03-02-2009 01:33 PM

I think it important that you guys know we didn't get the trademark to go after people. We got it to protect the name and the site. We've spent a lot of money on both sites. We want to protect them.

Should somebody be allowed to run officialsextube.com? or therealsextube.com? We are investing and building up SexTube and GayTube. We have to protect ourselves.

A) I work for Shap cause I want to as I respect him as a person and a businessman no other reason, if you knew me you would know I dont need the job
b) Just so you know Shap's site was active prior to his and his trademark pre dates hardsextube even a hungarian court will follow ICANN rulings.

So all that being said in the end Shap will get the domain its just a matter of time and if hardsextube wants to fight it great for him, but sooner or later he will lose.

Damn I use to have a lot of respect for you shap, but lately you turned into Lars and the other leech's! Un real what money will do to some people, but like Brujah said maybe you were always like this! *shrugs* Very sad to see this from you once again! Lay with dogs and you will get flea's

If sextube.com was indeed registered before hardsextube.com and the US trademark for sextube.com predates any other, which appears to be the case, then won't that be a slam dunk name dispute?

What's actually legal.. and what's actually worth the effort to go after are two different things...

There are a lot of things that can legally be sued for.. but they're just assy to waste the time doing...

and with the keywords being so vague.. and common... it's just a shitty thing to do.. that's all.

You have the legal right to do it.. but it's just a shitty thing to do.

Post bot? or error, how is Shap doing anything that i have complained about?

I am 100% in favor of going after trademarks. For any business it makes sense if you are running a business and don't trademark your property you will lose it, that happened to ddgirls.com Stephen Hicks didn't have the trademark and someone took his pay site that he had been running on that domain for years, he had to swap to digitaldesire.com, if he had trademarked it he wouldn't have had that problem.
