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

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.
