Sony Wants Bands' Domains
from the try-to-own-everything dept
Interesting bit in News.com today about how Sony is trying to have artists give up “lifetime” rights to any URL with the band’s name in it. Brings up a ton of tricky questions. The article gets into the issues briefly, but I want to see how bands react to this type of thing (if they even realize what’s going on).

Pirates at Sony refuse to give up Hoard
I know that right when Kool Keith signed with Sony this summer they bought koolkeith.com right away. Kool Keith ended up having to purchase koolkeith.net after Sony refused to let him use koolkeith.com. He should have bought sonyrapedme.com.
