2007 – Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com) is a site that allows people to publish their own books. Hulu.com (http://www.Hulu.com) is an online video site. Still, Lulu felt that Hulu was way too close to their name, so they decided to file a lawsuit for similarity.Similarity of what?
Now if you want to go sue someone who is backed by NBC (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/nbc)Universal, you have a lot of marbles. Nonetheless, it sounds more like a publicity stunt for Lulu to get their name out. Well, the lawsuit was dropped on Oct. 22, and Hulu (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/hulu) launched in Beta. Ultimately, by March 12th, 2008, Hulu.com was officially launched.
