“Fyre Fest” quickly became a shorthand for scams and disasters.

Two questions: why on earth would anyone want to associate (let alone buy) a brand synonymous with "scam"? And where in the hell did LimeWire get a quarter million dollars?

Because there are people who believe "There's no such thing as bad press."

This story got to the front page of HN on the name, after all.
