People are selling MySpace accounts. 90 minutes left to bid on Arctic Monkeys. (via Prefix)

AND The NY TImes says MySpace Is Unprofessional, but That's the Point AND Stereogum went to the secret MySpace Franz Ferdinand show.

The funny thing is that whoever buys the arctic monkeys myspace page will have it taken away from them by the band (MySpace will do it) because they don't like that kind of confusion over there.

no, thats only w/ copyright issues and the sale of the site would go around those.

Actually, I should have read the original post to begin with...people are bidding on the opportunity to manage the page for the band.

...this kind of reminds me of the scene in Tom Sawyer where Tom gets all his friends to whitewash the fence.

it seems that a fan started the site - that fan is giving another fan the opportunity to run a FAN site...not a band authorized site.

Nessa, nobody else can create a band profile (or personal profile) with the custom URL myspace.com/arcticmonkeys, however. But as Wendy points out, I wonder if MySpace would "confiscate" that URL if the band request it for themselves. My MySpace account has been deleted by MySpace five times now, and I'm fairly certain that at least four of those deletions were done at the request of representatives of The Donnas.
