Bismillah and Assalamualaikum,

Few days before, I've posted about YoutubeIslam.com, a site where you can watch all the trusted videos about Muslim and Islam from the whole world. [click here to read it] However, I was shocked of hearing that finally Google wants to take it over.





For over 11 years, we have had our website domains for Islam containing many combinations of different words, starting with ISLAMTODAY. Some of our domain names are in English and other words from Arabic to English letters - like "Allah" and "Islam".

When you have over 5,000 domains, it is not too hard to have words people will be looking for in search engines (like Google) depending on the subject matter.




GOOGLE.COM, is the owner of YOUTUBE.COM and it has an attorney firm on some type of financial arrangement trying to scare people into giving them their website domain names if they contain anything with the sound or appearance of the words like "tube", "you", "youtoo", "youtube", "tubeyou" or even words like "tub", if connected in some way with anything like "U".
First, their lawyers contacted us saying they were going to take our domain because we copied their logo. We didn't even come close to their logo.

They next came up with saying our name was too similar to their name. We changed the name and the layout to read:


Yo Utu Beis Lam.com and we even registered that as a trade name.
We changed the logo and the images to reflect the new name.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does GOOGLE - a company who bought YOUTUBE for billions of dollars - want to take away our little website?

Good question.

I think you know the answer.

AS regard of the material - we are keeping all of it - and we will be making it available on our other websites, InsyaALLAH. either of the follow:
