Facebook frivolously sues start-up Teachbook.com

by MARK RABY
Apparently Facebook thinks it is now so powerful that anyone who uses the word "book" must obviously be infringing on its copyright.
The social networking giant has filed a lawsuit against Teachbook.com, a new online startup aimed at teachers, even though the site hasn't officially launched.
In its filing for the ridiculous lawsuit, Facebook claims that using the word "book" in a website domain name is "highly distinctive in the context of online communities and networking websites."
