"Upon further independent investigation conducted by Business Wire, the company discovered that the Webnode news release was a hoax..."

Ya' don't suppose that had anything to do with Webnode telling everybody on April 2nd the whole story, at the top of the page? <gg>

webnode.com

…or even the basic premise that on April 1st, one could own the 'Net?

So what happened w/ UPCA and several dozen others, inre: 'independent investigation conducted by Business Wire'?
