Here's the situation, I received this mail yesterday:
I sent a mail to the facebook staff with my concerns and this is the reply I got:
Any suggestions how I should handle this? I feel that I should have my page AND my personalized address back but I can't be sure if it's within my rights.
This was a page for my music band with music posted written by me so there's no copyright infringement there. The problem, it seems, is the personalized facebook address of my page (www.facebook.com/escalation) which is now taken by the company "escalation studios" who obviously filed the complain. So, apparently, me using the word "escalation" in my address was violation of their rights. Does this make sense? I'll admit that I'm not really familiar with the laws regarding this stuff but it doesn't seem right that someone would be able to copyright the word "escalation". If anyone has any insight on this I would really appreciate it.Hello,

So apparently when someone complains about a page they disable it no questions asked. But if there's a mistake and I need to have the page back up I need to get consent from the guy? Is that bullshit or is it just me?Hi Kimon,
