A little blog can go a long way….
I’ve caught the attention of franticindustries.com with my suggestion that YouTube sue the lawyers trying to sue them.
Youtube, as I reported here yesterday, are being sued by The English Football League and Bourne Music in what their lawyers hope will become a class action lawsuit. However, they have seen fit to set up a web site at http://www.youtubeclassaction.com/ which invites others to join in if they have a complaint against YouTube infringing copyright.
Stan Schroeder at Franticindustries.com has published my suggestion that YouTube should sue these lawyers for infringement of the YouTube trademark - as the domain name appropriates the YouTube name. Stan agrees that a cease and desist letter would be an appropriate response to these people. I wonder if it will happen - I know that Stan’s blog gets around 100,000 monthly unique visitors, so at least it might cause pause for thought in the YouTube legal department.
Are there any trademark experts or lawyers who would like to give an opinion on the matter?
