In the 90's, he registered the then-unclaimed <a href="/wiki/Domain_name" title="Domain name">domain name</a> "<b>MTV.com</b>" in 1993 with the idea of being MTV's unofficial new voice on the Internet. Although this move was sanctioned by his supervisors at MTV Networks at the time, when Curry left to start his own web-portal design and hosting company, MTV subsequently sued him for the domain name, which led to an out-of-court settlement.<sup id="cite_ref-125" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-125"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The service hosted at the domain name was originally branded "MTV Online" during MTV's first few years of control over it in the mid-1990s. It served as a counterpart to the <a href="/wiki/AOL" title="AOL">America Online</a> portal for MTV content, which existed at AOL keyword MTV until approximately the end of the 1990s. After this time, the website became known as simply "MTV.com" and served as the Internet hub for all MTV and <a href="/wiki/MTV_News" title="MTV News">MTV News</a> content. </p><p>MTV.com experimented with entirely video-based layouts between 2005 and 2007. The experiment began in April 2005 as <i>MTV Overdrive</i>, a streaming video service that supplemented the regular MTV.com website.<sup id="cite_ref-126" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-126"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>126<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Shortly after the <a href="/wiki/2006_MTV_Video_Music_Awards" title="2006 MTV Video Music Awards">2006 MTV Video Music Awards</a>, which were streamed on MTV.com and heavily used the <i>MTV Overdrive</i> features, MTV introduced a massive change for MTV.com, transforming the entire site into a <a href="/wiki/Adobe_Flash" title="Adobe Flash">Flash</a> video-based entity.<sup id="cite_ref-127" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-127"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>127<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Much of users' feedback about the Flash-based site was negative, demonstrating a dissatisfaction with videos that played automatically, commercials that could not be skipped or stopped, and the slower speed of the entire website. The experiment ended in February 2007 as MTV.com reverted to a traditional <a href="/wiki/HTML" title="HTML">HTML</a>-based website design with embedded video clips, in the style of YouTube and some other video-based websites.<sup id="cite_ref-128" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-128"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>128<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From 2006 to 2007, MTV operated an online channel, <a href="/wiki/MTV_International" title="MTV International">MTV International</a>, targeted to the broad international market.

The summer launch of the platform is an attempt to help music junkies and musicians close the gap by providing a one-stop place where fans can listen to and buy music and purchase concert tickets and merchandise."<sup id="cite_ref-artistsmtv_131-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-artistsmtv-131"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>131<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>MTV.com remains the official website of MTV, and it expands on the channel's broadcasts by bringing additional content to its viewers.
