: IP Law DailyWoman Sues Blockbuster For Telling All Her Facebook Friends What She Was Renting [Beacon]Consumerist
Facebook's Beacon has finally resulted in a lawsuit. A Texas woman has sued Blockbuster for participating in Beacon, claiming that "Blockbuster violated the federal Videotape Privacy Protection Act by sharing information about her movie rentals and sales with Facebook without first obtaining her written consent," says MediaPost.
She's seeking class action status, with $2,500 for each violation of the statute. MediaPost says the law was passed in 1988 when a newspaper obtained the rental history of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork.
What about you? Did Facebook tell all your friends that you rented Basic Instinct 2... again?
