I think Blockbuster messed up pretty bad setting all this up. They probably should have researched their boundaries before jumping into something like this. As far as Facebook, they'll probably be named as a defendant, but I don't think anything will happen to them. They are neutral and Blockbuster used their services without checking to see if it was totally legal on their end. For example, if a man shoots another man, the murderer would be punished, but the company that made the gun would be clear because they merely made the weapon, they didn't tell the guy how to use it.
