Domain name problem
YouTube's success unintentionally affected the business of an American company, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corp., whose original website address, utube.com, was at one time frequently overloaded and shut down by high numbers of visitors unsure about the spelling of YouTube's domain name.[16] At the beginning of November 2006, Universal Tube filed suit in federal court against YouTube,[17] requesting that the youtube.com domain be transferred to them.[18] As of June 2008, the web address utube.com is showing a simple placeholder page, while Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment has moved to utubeonline.com. According to a WHOIS domain name search, Universal Tube still owns the domain http://www.utube.com.
