Facebook asserts trademark on word "book" in new user agreement
Found on Ars Technica on Sunday, 25 March 2012
Facebook is trying to expand its trademark rights over the word "book" by adding the claim to a newly revised version of its "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities," the agreement all users implicitly consent to by using or accessing Facebook.
Not accepting the terms isn't really an option for anyone with a Facebook account. "By using or accessing Facebook, you agree to this Statement," the document says.
It's really about time to clean up those messed up trademark and copyright laws, since only retarded crap like this comes out of them. At least I can reject their terms, simply by not having a Failbook account there.
