Help with rules and regulations concerning Facebook?
Let’s say, if someone created a new Facebook-type social network but it had new features included that FB doesn’t have, would it be an invention or would it be copyright infringement since it’s SIMILAR to FB?
Like what about Twitter??? Basically all they did was create a social network based on statuses (like from FB) but the only difference is that it looks different and it is updated at a rapid pace like a constant newsfeed…so if Twitter didn’t get sued by FB, can the person who created a social network sort of like FB be sued? What do you think? Answers please. Thanks!
Since ideas cannot be copyrighted, none of this constitutes copyright infringement.
In other words, the idea of social media cannot be copyrighted — it’s the individual expressions of that idea that are. You can create another site based on the idea of social media (and people do, all the time); but, you cannot copy and paste the code that powers Facebook and use it for your own.
