Thanks I figured as much,I would like to have youtube remove the
persons account,I sent the affending profile a message explaining my
trademark and trade name ownership with no threats of legal action

comes up on youtube and porntube. And my jurisdiction is Canada and so
is the offender at least they claim to be Caandian.
