Bibgate 2011: CPBB Censored by AEG and Facebook

Bibgate 2011Two days ago, we posted a story entitled “Check Out B2B’s #1 Trending Costume - “Faux” Race Bibs”. By the end of the day, Facebook had pulled it from our Wall saying:

“We have removed or disabled access to the following content that you have posted on Facebook because we received a notice from a third party that the content infringes or otherwise violates their rights”

So, we called our lawyers, constitutional and intellectual property law experts, and it turns out we did not violate any third party’s intellectual property or copyright by posting a link to this year’s Bay to Breakers race bib and making our own version.

Take that AEG. Oh yeah, and you too Facebook.

Fortunately, we still had a screenshot of all the comments and likes with the original post and downloadable Knucklehead bibs for your own bib making needs.

Bibgate 2011, out.
