About 6yrs ago my friend made a script, which was essentially a pyramid scheme for adding friends. Basically it helps you find other people who want to add you, to inflate each other's egos. It blew up & I was called in to fix the performance, part of that entailed moving it to my server - about a week later Facebook sent me a cease & desist & demanded the domain name be transferred to them. Pretty lame move on their part, because we were having fun hacking the code to handle the load, etc..
- seiji 13y agoYou realize any non-law entity can't forcibly compel you to do things, right? They can talk a big game, but it's up to them to file legal proceedings if they really want to shut you down.
- ceejayoz 13y agoHow is "we can force you into bankruptcy by suing you" all that less forcible than "the government will fine you"?
- tedunangst 13y agoIs Facebook suing him?
- ceejayoz 13y agoIt sounds like he caved at the C&D stage. Refusing to do so risks bankruptcy, even if you're in the right, if the deep-pocketed company decides to sue.
