The suit also names as defendants Does 1-100, who are the as-yet-unnamed operators of affiliate marketing sites that link to and worth with FaceBookOfSex.com.

get your banners up.

Links pulled.

links placed.

how can they do that ? interesting...

friend finder means penthouse? interesting ... btw they are going also after teachbook and lamebook? what a freaks ...

I'm sure AFF will weather the storm :)

AFF was beyond stupid for using such a name...I have no idea wtf they were thinking.

I find it interesting that AFF is going on the offensive with Facebook over their "friend finder" tool.

Crazy.. I wonder how this will end.

because the affiliates are profiting off of it too ?

If nothing else, it should have just scared every affiliate they have into stopping... which is a good victory for them.

What concerns me most is not what stupid thing AFF is doing but that Facebook may be successful in their suit against some AFF affiliates and the horrible ramifications that could cause once that precedent has been set.

Fuck Facebook and all the retards that use that shit. I'm a AFF affiliate and will support them all the way :)

Links pulled.

I don't think AFF are being necessarily stupid, I'd be pretty sure they have been posturing with this for some kind of eventual settlement that benefits rather than hurts them.

Once companies start throwing lawsuits at eachother the whole process becomes muddied with claim and counterclaim leading to the most common outcome, which is an out of court settlement.

I wouldn't like to predict the outcome.

you may not be dumb for supporting them over the facebook stuff, but to support them "till the end" after everything else they have done of the years... :warning:upsidedow

Which affiliate promoting that site didn't know that there was a huge :warning:warning:warning:warning:warning:warning:w arning:warning there ??? You just didn't think they would come after you too.

Beyond stupid? Do you even have an idea how much money this brand has made them? I think they were brilliant using this name and cashed in beyond imagination.

the ubsurdity of that trade mark is totally fucked up

anyone who watched the movie knows that the term facebook existed way back when MZ did his hot or not application

he "hacked" the dorm facebooks to get the pictures for his app

Exactly man!!!

the journey is not over, lets see how much it cost them in legal fees and damages (settlement) before you declare it a success.

Looks like they have some elite audience at their scam of a site lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh.

I sure hope facebook lawyers will destroy this pile of horseshit "dating site" peddling fake profiles created by Nigerian scammers, and run by crooks, thieves and illegal tubes sponsors/supporters.

I thought facebook violated some AFF patents? I'm surprised they waited this long for a court battle.

what he said.

I always thought it was a parody site.

What he said he said

Parody is one thing, but I think when you use the term "of" like that, it might not be ok. Facebook of sex sounds like their adult site.

the real snizz is on fb though. lol

It's just a play to get the domain taken away. They will get it and that should be the end of it. I doubt they can do anything to affiliates for promoting, they aren't breaking the law.

I think they have a valid case against their affiliates, their affiliates are profiting off of it as well. Don't be surprised the hammer comes down on their affiliates too. "breaking the law" this isn't a criminal case, it's civil. People can be sued for anything, and in this situation FB does have a valid case to go after affiliates too. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

yes you would...

"Facebook has filed a few different trademark lawsuits against sites it doesn’t approve of, like Teachbook and humor site Lamebook."

That's just stupid.. like they own the word "book".. are they kidding us?

yea same here

The don't have to own "booK"; their mark most likely deals with attaching "book" to the end of the term

going to be a slamdunk for facebook and the affiliates are going to get thrown under the bus, as usual.

I really wonder why this thread does not get more attention.

100(!) affiliates are threatened with a major lawsuit, since no one knows the names yet I would expect more than 100 participants in this thread...

Good fuck em all, those are the people fucking up with the internet with their spam porn on every shady torrent, pedo, free site out there

Is Fuckbook next?

i wonder if aff will turn over the affiliates information during discovery...





.

:1orglaugh aff fuck over biz? no.. never.

Has Facebook just 100 screenshots of sites promoting FacebookOfSex, or do they have 100 unique affiliate codes (gxxxxxx)?! Maybe they hacked into the affiliate area, would be interesting to know...

lol they can bring it on :1orglaugh

For the same reason Coca-Cola could sue me for inventing a beer called "The Coca-Cola of Beer"

Links pulle.... I mean, I agree. Very stupid.

I thought you where joking! What they fuck are they doing?

"Facebook sued Teachbook, an online community for teachers, back in August, demanding that the site remove the “-book” suffix from its name."
http://paidcontent.org/article/419-f...is-thrown-out/

Cant believe it.

But Coca Cola suing small shops selling the "CocaColaOfBeer"?????

Damn, that is cold.

some are small, many probably are not, gotta be a whale or 2 in that 100 that is worth suing...

A thread where stating "links pulled" would be more relevant than anyone else that's stated it in the last 5 years.

Nice man

so your theory is that they will go after the "bigger" affiliates?
