UTube.com is suing YouTube.com for a couple of different reasons. First, all the traffic they have been getting and that they haven’t been able to handle it. Second, the police have been contacting them about hosting copyrighted videos — but that seems easy to clear up as they are in two completely different industries.
It seems that the only reason UTube.com is coming out of the woods right now to sue is because YouTube.com cashed in and has a lot of money now. There’s really no trademark violation they could sue over and really no substancial evidence for any case at all. I don’t see this case going anywhere in court.
