When “Snakes and Arrows” was first mentioned as a potential title, I checked Network Solutions’ WHOIS search to see if that domain name — or variants — was registered. Seeing registered to Altantic Records would validate that rumour. At the time, snakesandarrows.com was available, as was rushsnakesandarrows.com.
Now there’s some news that the title may be holding. A quick check shows that the the domain name is anonymously registered to someone in Nova Scotia. So that makes me wonder…
Maybe a Rush fan saw that it was available and registered it. If this is the case, then it’s sad that the record company didn’t register the name before letting any word out. Great PR department you have there Atlantic.
Or maybe Atlantic did registered it and is using a fake address to fly under the radar. Entirely possible. If so, great PR department you have there Atlantic.
But never fear Rush fans — and Atlantic! rushsnakesandarrows.com is still available.

…keep in mind that it was Alex Lifeson himself who reportedly first made mention of “Snakes and Ladders” or “Snakes and Arrows” during his radio interview with Jeff Burrows (apparently it was latter edited out from the version which now appears on Rush.net). - MitA

Of course… I was just wondering out loud regarding the state of Internet promotions.
