In the immortal words of John Macenroe...

You cannot be se-rious....

Someone do a LOL cat please? I CAN HAS LIVER WITH A NICE CHARDONNAY NAO PLIS?

It'd be good if it had the IT Crowd in it too :)

Wow it's  a great time to be a privacy lawyer. Nazi orgies (allegedly). German cannibals. Any guesses on what next?

EDIT: Ok, this next.

Well that took a full ten minutes..

Also this, about which I can say little other than that it's about time they started selling close-target limited tactical nuclear strikes on eBay.

I think I'll go back to bed! :)

But see bit at bottom

"Mattel is planning its own Facebook Scrabble game." That eans they need to make a contact WITH FB.

Hasbro will be doing same for EU (or seling rts to someone else to do same)#

So you sue compettors but you bargain with the platform - unless it all goes west in whcih case you do so but mainly in hope of getting what you want that way via a settlement(cf Viacom v YT)

that's why I never get any case law -- I wish they WOULD sue FB!

They aren't planning it - it's already on FB. The problem is that it has 2000 users, versus scrabulous' 600,000.

The lawsuit is clearly a bargaining tool with FB - the question is whether FB can say "Common Carrier - you'll have to take us to court to get us to take it off." or just fold.
