Comment on Facebook suing Ontario porn firm

Comments

"These requests for information from Facebook generated error messages and were detected as unauthorized attempts to access and harvest proprietary information."

They're being sued for getting HTTP 403 error pages?

The suit alleges Facebook has suffered damages in "excess of $5,000" and has been "irreparably harmed."

D'oh, their valuation is now only 14.999995 billion.

IP fishing expeditions seem like abuse. Sounds like Facebook, flush with their +5 vorpal cash-hoard, are trying it out on lowly 1st-level NPCs.

Getting some practice throwing their weight around and bullying.
