Facebook sues startup Teachbook for using 'book'
Quote:
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Facebook is suing start-up site Teachbook.com for using the word "book" in its name, according to court documents.
The complaint, filed in a California district court last Wednesday, alleges that Teachbook is "rid[ing] on the coattails of the fame and enormous goodwill of the Facebook trademark," said the document obtained by Wired.com.

Pretty soon we will all have to pay royalties just to talk to people using words like "book".

Enormous goodwill of Facebook? How do these ENORMOUS IDIOTS even have the audacity to sue with their so called 'privacy' protocol?
