Why is Sony squatting on a Pentax website?
I live in Canada. I have often gone to the Pentax Canada website by directly typing w w w . p e n t a x . c a into the URL address bar. Regardless of the actual path to the site (currently
Welcome?RICOH IMAGING CANADA), this has always worked, redirecting me where I want to go.This is standard practice for big companies with international presence and nation-specific web sites.
But I just typed w w w . p e n t a x . c a and was redirected to the SONY camera site. (
Cameras | Best Digital Cameras & Lenses | Sony CA)
SONY are squatting on a long-standing Pentax domain. This is not cool in two ways:
1) Ricoh / Pentax how could you let this domain lapse?!?!
2) Sony, squatting like this is very misleading. I like you FAR LESS when you pull tricks like this.

Reason: I had to add spaces to the web address I typed, to keep it from being replaced with a hotlink (to SONY of course!)
