What is lu.ebookstore.sony.com all about ?

Saw a query about it elsewhere, and couldn't get any detail via Google, except that it "wasn't on any blacklist" by some other lot I hadn't heard of.

Dodgy ?

Given that it's in the Sony domain, I very much doubt that it's "dodgy". It doesn't seem to be a valid web site, though; at least it's not talking to me.

Mmmm...
That's odd - and if it won't talk to you, there's not much more to do, whatever it is.
P'raps its sulking....

Do you see a web site there yourself?

I think it isn't "lu" but "iu" and has something to do with collarboration between the Indiana University library and Sony.

No, just a couple of references to it.

Indiana University , eh...... why that should come up on a T1 is something I'll look into.

Wonder if they're in that bit of real estate, I'll ask.

"lu" finds a server there, but it's not talking.

"iu" can't resolve the name.

So I think you were right with "lu", whatever it may be.
