Justin Bieber URL Shortener Bieber.ly Shuts Down After Cease And Desist

Earlier today we wrote about the Justin Bieber URL shortener Bieber.ly, which had the dubious distinction of shortening URLs to the catchy Bieber.ly. About 22 hours after the site went up developer Elliott Kember emails us to say he received a "Cease and Desist" letter, apparently from lawyers representing "His Bieberness." The site now reads�"Aww, we got lawyered. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted! Unfortunately we've been asked to take this site down." Says Kember, "This was pretty much the fastest C&D letter I've seen - it only took about 22 hours from launch to email."
