Mike Perry has is exactly right.

In an era where people are paying HUGE amounts of money for advertising, just to get their name out, who in their right mind would be complaining about FREE WEB TRAFFIC?!? They are either ignorant or stupid, and I mean that factually, not as a gratuitous insult.

If Utube was a bit more clever, they’d have the utube.com home page offer two options:

1. Themselves

2. One or more competitors to youtube.com who’d pay utube for the linking.

I suspect they’d turn more than enough profit from #2 to come out ahead and force youtube to make them happy.

What could possibly be the cause of action? Lanham Act?

So Utube is suing YouTube due to Utube’s tubes being tied by Youtube’s traffic.

There’s a dumptruck joke somewhere in here…
