Typosquatters Get the Boot
Two firms have been fined one hundred grand
For charges getting out of hand.
The money made through competitions
Was in breach of the law said the watchdog’s decision.
The companies plan on you making a typo
When looking for sites such as Facebock or Skypo.
The pages appear under their guise
Asking for details in exchange for a prize.
Once they’ve got your number the cash that they make
Is through charging for texts at a premium rate.
The lack of clear pricing regarding the cost
Has led to a refund of what customers lost.
So, if Twutter’s not asking if you’re a member
And Wikipodia’s not quite how you remember,
There’s a good chance that you’re on to a swizz
Especially when told that ‘You’ve just WON our quiz!’

It's not right but it's OK
If I told you that on the day that Whitney died
The cost of her albums went up, would you be surprised?
All at once the fans complained, Twitter was inundated
Itunes refused to comment but the price was reinstated.
Is it really disrespectful to charge more now that she’s gone?
Would we still all buy the album if she’d lived to carry on?
Hotels charge more in summer as do restaurants at night
It’s a consequence of high demand whether wrong or right.
Were those who got so emotional at the inflated CD cost
Angry at the diva’s passing or at the three pound more they lost?
