So in case you're not one of the lucky few who got an email from a dubious-looking source called "legalnotice", there's a pending class-action lawsuit against Facebook regarding Sponsored Stories, which basically is a way of profiting off its users without permission by using their names and pictures in advertisements on the site.

SO, if a person thinks they're entitled to be a part of the suit, they can join it, and they will be entitled to receive up to $10 if the suit is won! Doesn't that sound so worth it?

But in all seriousness, it's a pretty interesting case, but I don't see the incentive for people to be a part of it if they wouldn't even receive that much money in damages/etc, while the lawyers will make a killing off of it anyway.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

I have a Facebook account that I don't really use. Am I qualified?

I honestly could care less about the settlement; but I would like to know what my post they used was.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
