Title: Facebookers! Go like this new gun safety page!!
Post by: 280plus on April 17, 2014, 08:19:00 AM
Somebody got to the name before nanny Bloomberg did on FB. It's his new name for his $50 million campaign. It is listed as a gun safety site. 4000+ likes in less than 24 hours. Go give them your support. The Nanny and his minions are in a tizzy over it, you don't want to miss all the fun. ;)

Whoa!  They were only in the mid 4000's when I saw it this morning.

Gonna be a lot more difficult for Bloomberg's group to register the phrase.  Seems it's already in popular use by another large (and rapidly growing) group on social media.   >:D

How would that work legally I wonder? If the copyright comes after a group already legally purchased the domain name, wouldn't the copyright either not be approved, or at least postponed until the domain expires? It seems like it would be legally unethical to force someone that has already purchased a property right to give it up because someone else claims copyright after the fact.

Personally, I doubt the bloomies care too much about the legalities.  The FB page isn't a domain in itself, and it's not purchased, so I don't think there's any way to bring legal pressure to bear on the person that set up the page.  FB could remove it though, if they felt there was some kind of copyright infringement, or for any other reason for that matter.

If this was an actual domain name, I think the owner would have every right to keep it, and the copyright owner would have every right to buy it . . .

Plus, "legally unethical" sounds like a redundancy . . .   :lol:

Thanks all, the more the merrier, last look they were over 7000 and climbing rapidly. The story is that Titles and phrases like that are not copyrightable so Bloomberg has no legs there but he does have money and FB, of course, leans pretty far to the left so chances are he'll offer them dough and they'll pull it and give it to him. It sure is fun to stick it right up his wazoo for the time being though. I'm surprised it's still there at this point actually. It'll be interesting to watch this pan out.

Post by: 280plus on April 17, 2014, 01:33:32 PM
Yup, something between 30 and 40 likes per minute. Amazing. But you're right Bloomberg will throw money at it and win in the end. Maybe. More talk is it is certainly geared more towards actual gun safety than anything bloomberg has planned for it so that MIGHT take precedence.

And now there's a new ETFGS page back up and running.

Apparently someone else grabbed the name and reopened it and the Bloomys grabbed the same name but added .org to the end of the address. So, the one with no .org in the address is the new pro gun page and the one whose address ends in .org is the anti one. Likes on the pro gun page are above 3000, bloomy's is struggling to make it to 200. Hope this helps or at least doesn't confuse you more.  :facepalm:

Wow, they fail hard. Apparently, that photos been up for 5 hours, and has gotten nothing but pro-gun responses. The photo's still on their homepage, or whatever it's called, with the comments calling out their fail. Their whole Facebook page is eaten up with pro-gun sentiment.

I don't know how Facebook works, but can't they take it down, or delete the comments, or are they just off for the night? Are we sure the Bloomies really put up that page?

That might explain why that page had hundreds of thousands of likes right off the bat. I saw it early on, when one of the pro-rape drones bragged about that page having far more likes than the pro-American site.


And the Failposter is also on my hard drive. Too choice not to right-click/save.  :laugh:

While the image at first appeared to be created by Everytown for Gun Safety, an anti-gun campaign paid for by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and includes the web address of the group’s official website and logo, the Facebook page it was posted on is not the one the group’s website currently links to.

A spokesperson for the gun control group Demand Action told TheBlaze the Facebook page and image belongs to “cybersquatters,” not Bloomberg’s group.

Yeah. Uh-huh.
