JewTube is a free video sharing website comprising Jewish-oriented user-generated content. JewTube was founded by Jeremy Kossen, a Los Angeles-based entrepreneur.
Visitors to the site can view videos on a wide array of Jewish-themed content, including everything from Jewish cooking to clips from the Sacha Baron Cohen film, "Borat".[1]
Google is challenging a New York City based company, NetParty, for the use of the name "JewTube", on trademark grounds. NetParty is not related or affiliated with the JewTube website.[2] In a related story, JewTube, having registered the JewTube domain a year before NetParty filed with the USPTO, also plans on contesting NetParty's LLC's filing.[3]
