Facebook Sues Teachbook Over Use of 'Book'. lol
RoninatorMarx:
I just learned about this. Kinda surprising.
--- Quote ---Facebook is going after a social-networking site for teachers, dubbed Teachbook, for attaching the word "book" to its name.
The "book" part of Facebook is highly distinctive and most people associate it with social networking, Facebook said in a lawsuit it filed against Teachbook earlier this month. The only reason Teachbook is using "book" in its name is to unfairly benefit from Facebook's popularity, according to court documents.

...rofl.
Because Facebook needs to sue people to stay afloat, much less over something so...minor XD This is funny.
blake307:
Copyright infringement I suppose. But I still can't believe facebook would sue someone for using the word "book".
azuyuki:
lololololol
This lawsuit is going nowhere. It's like trying to copyright the word "is"
Scotty:
In more recent news: It seems Facebook doesn't want any other site to use the word face OR book in the front or end of their title.
Totally childish.
