Lamebook Sues Facebook Over Trademark Infringement

Posted by samzenpus on from the when-parody-attacks dept.

    My understanding of them suing was not for the free advertisement but rather the fact that the lawsuit will happen in Texas rather than a "Facebook-friendly" court. And Facebook was probably going to sue them anyways, so they took the initiative and did something to improve their chances of winning. I don't see anything wrong with survival instincts and I give them credit for sticking up for their 1st amendment rights.
