Good for MF sales, but how cheap.

 

[Jay Terrien]

Wow, that's about as crazy as it gets!

I can't imagine why they would take on the additional business expense and headache of buying/owning/managing similar domains...... Hmmmmm.

 

[DrMWP]

They're taking over the world....

Happens all the time. Guess Lakland didn't care enough to pick up that domain .

 

[Brad Johnson]

At least they're selling the basses.

Crafty.

Reminds me of this bizarre little site I stumbled upon once..

Invalid Link Removed

No sign of Lemmy whatsoever.

Buying a domain name is cheap, and having the same host (mf) with just a redirect is easy to do. Easy, but cheesy.

Try jasonnewsted.com.... I think this is disgusting knowing the relation between Jason and Metallica's James Hetfield and the reason for Jason leaving Metallica.

Its the devil Bobby Bouche.

At least it doesn't steal your social security number while goatse-ing you.

Yes, the state of the internet is that bad these days.

 

[Fuzzbass]

At least it ain't a porn site.

 

[spudmaster34]

I'm pretty sure they also have Invalid Link Removed

 

[Fuzzbass]

I'm pretty sure they also have Invalid Link Removed

Sure 'nuff! But they failed to snap up Link Removed in time.

 

[Brad Johnson]

At least it ain't a porn site.

Really... remember Lane Poor

I'm not sure if you were just point out that odd link (and it is odd that it directs to MF), but the Lakland site is simply:
www.lakland.com.

I'm sure that you guys knew that already though.

Actually, it looks like a case of a 3rd party registering a domain name, then redirecting it through his Musician's Friend affiliate ID, then dumping the user on the MF Darryl Jones page.

WhoIs shows the offending party to be:

Stevenson, Todd [email protected]
4447 S. Muirfield Dr. #10
Salt Lake City, Utah 84124

While MF's WhoIs shows:

Registrant:
Musician's Friend, Inc.
931 Chevy Way
Medford, OR 97504

Plus, here's the redirect string that your browser goes through:

1) http://www.laklandbasses.com
2) http://www.laklandbasses.com/?804c72b0
3) Link Removed
4) Link Removed
5) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Lakland-Darryl-Jones-Signature-Model-4String-Bass?sku=517705
