Talking of cyber squatting, AC/DC have won the ACDC.com domain from a porn site who used the address to point unwitting fans to all sorts of dodgy nonsense (of all persuasions, presumably).
After years of fans who type in the .com address when trying to access the rock band online being taken to the porn service, now said fans will get to the official home of Young brothers et al, just in time to find out about the band's new live DVD release 'Plug Me In'.
A spokesman for the band said one of the reasons they worked so hard to win back the domain was because they have a lot of young fans who would be unwittingly stumbling on the porn site. The spokesman told news.com.au: "The young fans are so net savvy it [going to acdc.com] is the first thing they do. The push to get it back came predominantly because they knew there were a lot of younger fans coming through".
Referencing their 1976 album 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap', the band said in a statement: "ACDC.com is now serving its proper master and we assure you that the dirty deeds being done dirt cheap will now be of an entirely different variety. Feel free to visit us from work, school or, for long-time visitors to the site, from the usual privacy of your basement".
