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
