This has been discussed here before. It really speaks to how hard up on readers they are that they try to poach those who are trying to come to the TON.

Good for business, recommended strategy, whatever… nothing respectable about it.

Disagree. Smart for business. EVERY type of business does this to benefit on people's human errors. If I were in charge of Access, I would have been giggling to myself when I discovered that the minus S name wasn't taken.

I ran a website for a very short time back in the early 2000's and had pay "per click" advertising. Not sure if it still works the same way but websites bid per click to be listed at the top of the search page. Since we had a small advertising budget we typically spelled the name wrong as it was significantly cheaper per click. For instance, we sold Callaway golf equipment. We could bid 1 or 2 cents per click if we spelled it "Calloway" vs a couple dollars per click if spelled correctly. You would be surprised how many people spelled it wrong. This practice seems to evolved into redirecting scenario we have with owlaccess.
