   No, they can't play nice

   Modern businesses cannot play nice together. The current corporate mindset says that if someone else is making money, then I must be losing money. The idea of synergies, or that another company might actually make your site more valuable is simply a concept that our multi million dollar CEO's and the corporate lawyers cannot understand.

   I'd actually like a power.com-type website that would consolidate all my messanger / online social / similar services.

   I do not want them scraping my friend's facebooks. I just signed in with my twitter account and it had my follower's names on there. So its not only getting YOUR information, its giving away your friend's information. So here they want facebook to give information.. so where I have 1 or 2 twitter followers ( I don't use twitter.. I just signed up to see what all the crap was about, not impressed), I have 500+ facebook friends. So if they scraped my profile, I would be consenting to give them 500+ names/emails/etc which are NOT mine to give away. THANK YOU FACEBOOK. This lawsuit is bullshit.

   "I don't think there's any rule that even if a site lets you retain the copyright on content that it needs to make it easy to access."
   
   It's an issue of facebook not giving Power.com a legal means of accessing user information on facebook. Power.com is basically arguing that to the extent they don't allow Power.com to legally obtain user data then facebook is liable.
   
   "Wouldn't that be an issue for the user to raise themselves?"
   
   Well, then all Power.com employees have to do is make a facebook account and then they become users. Now they have standing to sue.

   As if Power.com has any right

   As a Facebook user I don't see where Power.com thinks they get any right to view or use any data of mine that I have not given them permission to use or access. I remember reading the license agreement when I signed up, and I remember giving that permission to Facebook and it's affiliates, but it certainly doesn't sound to me like Power.com is an affiliate of Facebook. So personally I think Power.com should go find themselves some of their own data and stop crying that they don't have access to data that doesn't belong to them, and that they don't have permission to use or access from the USERS of the platform.

   Face book does have the right to block data access. The data is hosted on their servers and costs related transferring that data elsewhere is footed by them(even if the accessor does so as well). If a company can't defend themselves from extensively heavy users because "the data is useful" it would just be wrong, even if that's not the purpose that would be the precedence it sets.

   You can choose *NOT* to use power.com. For those who do want the integration, there is no reason why Facebook should stop them.
