Seems like everyone is taking a stab at Google and YouTube's recent fortune - but that would have been expected. Everyone is talking about it now, UTube.com is suing YouTube.com for "site confusion."

What is the issue, the Guardian explains;

Universal Tube says it has lost business because genuine customers have had trouble accessing its site, and has filed a lawsuit asking YouTube to change its web address or pay the cost of creating a new domain name.

Because YouTube traffic at UTube.com caused the server to come down...

Ouch.

Forum discussion is pretty wild at WebmasterWorld & DigitalPoint Forums.
