I feel irrationally annoyed by this, as if registering this to redirect to a library's README.md was a selfish act.

Registered in 2011 (somewhat surprised it took that long):

  Domain Name:	 readme.md
  Registrant:	 The Echo Nest
    City:	 SOMERVILLE
    Country:	 US
    e-mail:	 brian@echonest.com

  ns2.p23.dynect.net	 204.13.250.23


hah -- any one of you would do the same faced with an overzealous auto-linker js on IRCCloud, a discussion there about the README.md it points to and access to a corporate credit card. it was very funny at the time, i promise. here's our "announcement": http://blog.echonest.com/post/9332881544/new-pyechonest-on-g...


Yes but no worse than everyone else squatting domains.
