I wonder how much of this is really a tempest in a teapot. I don't think my "Aaron is making awesome coffee" status update is really valuable enough intellectual property to be concerned about. I understand the "big brother" aspect miffing a few folks, but in our litigious society, I can't blame FB for covering their butts.
- ntoshev 18y agoIt's interesting to compare this to the "google is reading my email!" reaction they got for showing ads in gmail. People get easily upset on stupid stuff like this, but it doesn't mean the company should ignore it.
- herval 18y agoproblem is most people think their family photos and 'OMFG awesome coffee' status updates are their creative, personal and marketable 'intelectual property'. well, ok - the family photos ARE personal...
- omnivore 18y agoFB needed to cover themselves, but the outcry was much ado about nothing. But meanwhile, the whiners will think they won.
