Now 7 11 will sue for copyright infringement for making a judgment that is similar to their name. Also judgments like these are ridiculous since he'll never be able to pay.

I've learned to recognize your posts just by the title.

Whenever there are some non-tech, inquirer looking news...that's you posting.

I'd comment about the subject in question...if it didn't look like news from TMZ

Was Microsoft invested in Facebook 300million...
It worth only 50million now, after such cash flow...

711 million, guy doesn't have anywhere close to that much money let alone will he pay any of it.

This one was a no brainer. I'm wondering about criminal charges.

 

[ssalim]

I bet not even $700,000 he could pay.
To jail for a while they could say.

Can't even be bothered to address me by name?

I suppose posting news about Asus' plans for an android netbook or indeed their new USB 3.0 mobo isn't tech? Oh yeah, JUST the thing you'd find on TMZ.

Go ruin someone else's friday, Troll. I'm in too much of a good mood to let you get to me today.

Since when is internet spamming 'non-tech'? That's unnecessarily rude. And I'm unnecessarily rude regularly so I know what I'm talking about.

Everyone got 711 millions in their pocket... I will be surprise if their are able to get 1000$...

Sorry,

I gotta admit i just skip android related news lately.
"Somebody launching android based someday"...times 200.

Who cares!

Good job with the Asus PRESS RELEASE though, now where are the tech news, such as http/www.tomshardware.com/news/China-Supercomputer-Tianhe-Petaflop-Intel,8966.html and http/www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia-Fermi-CUDA-GPU-GeForce,8968.html ?

Have a great weekend

And hey ukgooey...

Internet Spamming is tech...but it isn't news.
Now the results of a court about it...gotta be even less tech related (and won't affect any of US).

It's not like PB is getting crushed...it's just a waste of time.

I think that was the clown that hacked my facebook account. Lock him up.

After appeal it will be $711.00. There are no criminal charges because they cannot prove that he violated any criminal statute. Facebook's alledged "damages" are so speculative as to be comical.

Good message to send though.

You're retarded.

 

[doomtomb]

So Facebook gets a payday because their users got screwed by a spammer? Shouldn't the users get the money because they got spammed while using Facebook?

Yipee for Facebook getting more money....

 

[Pyroflea]

I totally agree with doomtomb. What about the people who lost all their personal information. Think of the damage that could be done with names, addresses, birth dates, phone numbers, etc. This is all common information on Facebook. So why does Facebook get paid when there could be hundreds, even thousands of people who have had their identities stolen?

 

[Manos]

I dont use nor like Facebook but i respect that some find it useful ( and some turn into nolifers for that alone.. :S ) For me they rather send him to jail and take his money away. Facebook doesnt need more money, really..

Lawsuits against big companies work like this,lady liberty holds the scale and both parties put money on either side. The side with the most money wins.
