Facebook and me, we are not getting along
I received yet another lovely notice from Facebook today about “possible infringement” not “actual” but “possible.” Read on -

So lets refer to the video from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that spells out our rights under the DMCA rules.
I have filed a counter claim with Facebook using the last phrase in that image above, switching out Viacom for Universal, Cut Copy’s label. And someone should let Universal Music know that I fed Cut Copy dinner that night too….I should send Universal Music the bill….
Watch another video from the same night here.

I’m toying with the notion of starting my own social media site which will be the polar opposite of all this. I’m calling it ASSBOOK.
