You taking the piss?
When I first went there and viewed a movie, the page loaded with ads either side and in the middle it was just blank. I had to scroll right down to see the movie. I posted, went back and its working ok now :)

OK, so I'm reporting back to give you my 'user experience' of trying to use your site. I'm not being bitchy, or complaining. I only post this so you can know what it was like for me.
I looked at the site initailally, and thought... Hmmm Maybe I will upload something in the future.
Tonight is the future so I join. Fill in form, get email straight away, all smooth as clockwork...
All goes well, and its time to upload my clip.
I fill in all the info on the first upload page, then get to the 'actual' upload page...
It tells me the file types i can use, (.wmv check) and it states that my file must be under 8mb in size... OK... It is...
So, I browse to my video clip, (Which I have made specially) and attempt to upload it. Its 7.74 mb in size, but upon my attempt to upload it, it says its too big!
I go back, re fill in all the info on the first page, and try again... Still too big...
I go back into my edit program, and re compress the clip to under 7mb (6.77mb) and try again
I re fill in the first page, again (Third time now) and try again.
This time the 'upload box' seems happy, and it seems to upload, but then it happily informs me, its an 'invalid file' type... Yet its still a .wmv
I click the option for when the upload box doesn't work and try it that way...
Yet again, its an invalid file type...
At this point I give up...
Just letting you know, no hard feelings or disrespect. I think its a cool site, and want to upload a clip... But cant :)

I presume as the name youtube is now well known, that its become a houshold name.
So if you put you or tube onto a name it sounds rather known, even if its new, plus people may think its part of you tube.
Of course as youtube is now a branded name, these sites may (and i suspect will) find in a year or two letters asking them to close down due to copyright or whatever covers names. Ie Just as if you open a fast food shop with 'Mc' at the start, you have next to no chance of getting away with it.
While you may be able to use you or tube in a domain name that is not vid related, I suspect and sites that do vids in the same way as youtube does will have problems.
So those sites that have done this, may have problems later.

also there is youporn.com, I would think they themselves may not be impresed by this.
My advise would be to use a different domain name rather than build up a sucsessfull site then find in two years or so time you are getting emails asking for you to stop or face legall battels, which they will have the cash for, plus they will enjoy the publicity.
Are you on drugs DVT.
Nobody can stop you using the words 'you' or 'tube' in your url because these words have not be trademarked for one and I don't think you can restrict the sue of the English language.
Youtube don't give a fuck how many tube sites are out there, it helps their bussiness grow.
I just bought www.youtubeporno.co.uk, OK its not the same name as them but it does have you and tube in the url so lets see what they do when that site goes live? Fuck'em:P

Yahoo had me last summer taking back 6 domains all ranked with traffic they promised to refund me all my costs and pay me a token amount for being so understanding and fast to react to their requests though took everything then never came good........
As far as I know they have a court order / surpiner or what ever they call it in the US raised against me.
Now I stay clear of it - with the Yahoo thing I was sent a list of webmasters who they are after, there is 1000's on there with a few names I know are UK guys and others I have met at shows. :(

WOW 10/10 for being origional ;)
OK if and I suspect it is You Tube is a TM then they can indeed say you are infringing on their TM / misleading users etc.
You have their business name in the url in full 'YouTube' the fact you have tacked on porn makes no difference, in fact its likely to pee em off more.
Its a risky one to play with given the fact they are owned or have links with Google, piss em off and you could easily find yourself black listed from google as well as loosing the domain name.
Also they will look at your intentions for buying the domain, and yours is clearly 'brand & association' ie looking to pick up their traffic.
BTW Easy Jet activily seak out anyone who sets up a domain with easy*****.com this I found out at a main stream web show.

Correct.
Do not forget that a few sites have tried to use fcuk, or variasions of it, but been shut down due to it being oned by the perfume firm.
At the moment youtube is only a year or so old and still getting itself sorted out. But its made many BIG deal with tv and film firms, so no way in a few years will they want there brand to look bad.
If you wish to take the risk, then thats fine, but to me its mad, and to be honest makes you look bad (psl) as in many ways it makes you look as if you do not know internet basics. Put it this way, if I was going to get some work done or promote a site, but the owner had a site such as youporntube.co.uk, I would think, hang on, surly even people with low net experince would know thats rather foolish, so probably best avoid this person as if they are messing up on that, are they messing up on other stuff.
I mean the fact that you say "lets see what they do when that site goes live? Fuck'em" makes me think you have no idea what your doing.
But its up to you at the end of the day.

People made a killing from domains at the begining. thesun.com/.co.uk would have been a good one to get.
It's certainly risky to start trade using a name / Url of of an already established concern.
There is the rule of "Passing Off" to consider.
Here's an example from last year of a ruling that went against a guy that thought it would be ok to use a similar domain name of an already established business:
Phones4u Wins Passing Off Appeal Against phone4u
An online seller of mobile phones did not infringe the trademark of John Caudwell's Phones4u chain when it used the domain name phone4u.co.uk, according to the Court of Appeal. But Friday's judgment concluded that there was passing off.
The ruling reverses a High Court judgment of last year, which threw out both arguments from the company that made Caudwell one of Britain's richest men. According to Lord Justice Jacob, the High Court judge applied the wrong test in deciding whether Caudwell had goodwill that could be protected by passing off.
Passing off is a common law remedy. To succeed, a claimant must show he has a reputation, that there has been a misrepresentation, and that misrepresentation has caused or is likely to cause damage.
The phone4u.co.uk domain name was registered in August 1999 by Abdul Heykali who said he did not know of Phones4u at the time, albeit the Phones4u name had been used since 1995 and the domain name phones4u.co.uk was registered in 1997.
Heykali's site initially promoted the services available at his shop in London (which traded under another name). From 2001, it sold phones online. A picture of a mobile phone preceded "4u.co.uk". There was a disclaimer on the site, disassociating the company from Phones4u.
The High Court dismissed the disclaimer as an irrelevance – these "hardly ever work" unless they are "massive and omnipresent", wrote Justice Laddie. But he concluded that evidence of goodwill – and consequently of confusion –was insufficient, so the passing off action failed.
The Court of Appeal reversed this on Friday.
Lord Justice Jacob considered the evidence of brand-awareness as at August 1999, when the domain name was registered: there was a Phones4u shop in most towns and cities; almost 200,000 phones were sold that year; the turnover was £43m; and newspaper advertising was widespread. "To infer from all that," he wrote, "that hardly anyone knew the name, that the name was not 'an attractive force which brings in custom' by August 1999 is simply untenable."
He noted that the lower court made a mistake in applying tests for trademark registration to the question of passing off, including the descriptiveness of the name and its distinctive nature. These are not tests for establishing whether goodwill has been established, he pointed out.
It followed that when phone4u.co.uk was registered, "an instrument of fraud" was created. This term was first used in BT's landmark cybersquatting case against One in a Million. There could be no realistic use of the name, reasoned Jacob, "without causing deception". There was further evidence of this in Heykali's attempt to sell the domain name once he knew of Caudwell's shops.
Like the lower court, the Court of Appeal concluded that there was no trademark infringement. Phones4u had a registration for the word 'phones' and the numeral and letter combination '4u' in white on a red and blue background – not for the mark 'phones4u' in isolation or without colour.
I remember a story many years ago about a boy who bought waterfordcrystal.com and apparently got over £1,000,000 worth of enquiries.
And apparently because waterford is a place and crystal is a mineral (or whatever) it was not a problem. I suppose things have changed a lot though.

Yep, the techies tell me they should have it all sorted by tonight... apparently it wasn't a quick fix! :character0072:
I'm pleased to report that I have successfully uploaded my video, (First attempt this time) and its currently awaiting approval of the Admin !
Woot Woot!
OK.. So i check back today to see if my videos been approved...
Its not there...
I check the email account, and it states that my video was approved... OK
There's also another email, saying that there was a 'problem' with my video, and it had to be deleted...
For further details click this link, but its not a link to a specific page which explains why or what the problem was... Its just a generic link to the site itself...
http://youporn.co.uk/
And guess what? The site doesn't work for me unless I put the 'www' in... The servers not set up right...
I mean if your gonna delete something, then at least give a reason why ?
Come on AdultBuisness... Give your tech guys a kick in the ass...
This is not good at all...
The reason I'm so frustrated, is that I have never bothered with these tube sites before, but I have gone to a lot of trouble and wasted a lot of time so far with your site...
I give up...

With .co.uk domains if there is any evidence you intended to sell it to the other site, or if you register one to setup a similar business/site to an existing one nominet will delete the domain upon their request / return it to them.
So you are on a very risky path should this happen if you invest a lot of time and effort into gaining your bookmarkers!
Also most people who come to you site will simply type in the .com when they wish to return or type in the .com anyway as they know about the .com.
For this basis perhaps a change of name might be an idea ;)

I think the most important point you are missing here is this... youporn.COM is a play on youTUBE.com so the fact we infringe slightly on youporn.COM is not a problem. Can you imagine the DRS or court case? Yes M'lord, we setup youporn.COM to show hardcore porn to people and chose the name because it's similar to youTUBE.com and these guys have squated on the .co.uk so can you penalise them please....
... I don't think so! :rolleye0012:
