UTube.com sues YouTube.com

Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp of Ohio, US, has its website hosted at the address UTube.com. Earlier this week, they sued the YouTube Inc!!! But why? Due to Google's recent acquisition of YouTube(spending $1.65 bn), the web traffic of utube increased manifold, causing the website crashing often and costing thousands of dollars a month. Read the full story from Sara Goo's blog from WashingtonPost.

However I dont think UTube will win this lawsuit. Yet another interesting lawsuit of the year.
