Can you copyright protect what you put on Facebook?

Recently, I was asked by Tim Priebe, the founder of T&S Web Design to address some warnings people have been posting on their Facebook accounts regarding copyright and privacy. I and many other people believe these warnings are simply “hoaxes” and totally ineffective in changing a user’s legal rights.

You can read the whole post at the T&S website to find out more about this issue.

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."
