look at the links...
www.utube.com

Been that way for a while.

They provide a traffic report, too. 140,000 uniques per day.

Didn't get the memmo..
BTW: the rumor is 3000 USD revenue a day...
where are those multiples now?
Forget about selling the bloody tubes/pipes

Now all they need to do is gradually expland the size of that top part.

Are they using a Google feed?


Google should have bought it last year.
Every month, the domain is getting more valuable.

Maybe, they are hoping to take it away from them thru legal action.

I realize utube was first. But, it won't be the first time a domain
was unfairly taken away.

They are waiting patiently for the video links to appear.

this one just changed hands

youtube.net

This seems like a timebomb to me. The second a link appears that can be used in a decision youtube will be all over this company. Is it possible to manipulate these links to display what you want? - ie like unscrupulous lawyers have done in the past to steal domains.

Maybe they think their previous threats of suing youtube for all that unwanted traffic provides them some kind of cover for "having" to do this to cover the extra bandwidth costs.

It would not surprise me that the action reflects an informal settlement of the traffic issue. Seems within reason if their traffic is unwanted to afford them a method to defray the costs of bandwidth, etc.

Heard from the inside that is low.

around 140-150k/month.

Just took a look at http://www.utube.com/ and they've gone many steps further by separating their original website content to http://www.utubeonline.com/ and made the layout look very similar to the youtube website, with a video theme.

Even in my address bar on the left of the url there's a video camera icon.

They really are positioning themselves for a lawsuit...or a massive out of court settlement.
