The seller of old pipes is suing YouTube
Representatives of Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp., a company that deals with the sale and purchase of old pipes, filed a lawsuit against the most popular video service YouTube . The reason for going to court was the dissatisfaction of the pipe vendors with the excessive attention of Web users to the Universal Tube site, because of which the American company had to change hosting several times and spread out lump sums for traffic, AP reports.
According to the case file, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp requires YouTube <ahref = " youtube.com "> to either change the domain name or pay for hosting utube.com . At the same time, the pipe sellers did not indicate the exact amount of damage that was caused to the company by the video service acquired by Google.
Representatives of Universal Tube argue that YouTube is undermining the activities of pipe vendors due to the fact that potential customers of the company have difficulty working with the utube.com website (due to the excessive attention paid to this webpage, the online representation of pipe vendors was significantly hampered ). In addition, Universal Tube emphasizes that utube.com is 10 years older than YouTube.
The first time the utube.com site encountered excessive attention from Web users in August 2006, when the site was visited 68 million times during the month. Thus, the online representation of Universal Tube suddenly became one of the most popular industry sites on the Internet.
Universal Tube was established in 1985. The company's annual turnover is 12 million dollars. And YouTube, a video service opened in 2004, for two years of its existence, became one of the most visited resources of the global Network and was sold in October 2006 to Google for $ 1.65 billion.
