YouTube Vs. Utube
http://www.inc.com/magazine/20070801/ca ... utube.html
I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a rough time wrapping my mind around the fact that people didn't realize that maybe, just maybe, they were at the wrong site when they visited Universal Tube. That said, the e-mails to Universal Tube are a riot. The one at the beginning of the article from "Tony Soprano" had me dying.

Re: YouTube Vs. Utube
Poor guy. That last line really makes you wonder how people can be in love with their jobs even when they're as boring as selling tubes.
Still, I have to side with YouTube that his demand for "a penny a day for every redirected browser" is ridiculous. YouTube should not be held liable for the idiocy of 95% of the planet just because this UTube guy says they should. It's not really YouTube's fault that his site is flooded with traffic -- it's the morons' own fault themselves. The solution to this problem is fairly straightforward, but apparently this UTube guy is too selfish to see it this way: 1 - notify your clients and customers that you are changing names (happens all the time) 2 - change your domain name to fit the new company name 3 - pick up where you left off and keep on truckin' He doesn't have the right (moral [imo] nor legal [factually]) to tell YouTube that they need to change their tactics "or else." Fuck off. :P They've done nothing illegal, they had no malicious intent, they couldn't care less about your shitty little UTube company, and so they have no reason to honor your requests to change their name. The day the US Government agrees that people like Mr. UTube have the right to tell other people what to do because they don't like it is the day this country makes it clear to the world, "Yes, we are going to Hell, and we appear to be stuck inside some sort of handbasket ..."
