Amy Winehouse domains

[BREWSTERS]

Heard her dad on radio 5 this morning talking about the charity set up in her name - at the end he said the domain name so people could donate online.

Knowing that some dick had reg'd amywinehousefoundation.com and co.uk before the actual foundation did, I was suprised when her dad said the website is at "amywinehousefoundation.co.uk...or maybe it's just .co. " - the presenter said, "no, it'll be .co.uk you can't have just .co". Yeah, I know...

When I got home I checked and it looks like the .com and co.uk are now rightlfully with the foundation (or at least pointing to it), but just take a look who owns amywinehousefoundation.co - unbelievable!!

And they're pontificating about a 'squatter' - exactly what they're bloody doing!

Do they actually own it though, or did whoever bought it just redirect the site to that address?

Fair point - either way it's quite bizarre.

Yeah, I agree, it's very odd. Maybe a cybersquatter bought it and wants to avoid any criticism by pointing it towards that article?
