Florida Woman Sues Network over ‘The Game’ Facebook Page

A South Florida woman is suing the Black Entertainment Television network in a dispute over a Facebook page she developed to promote the show “The Game.” Attorneys for Stacey Mattocks, who lives in Broward County, said in court papers that BET wrongly took control of the page after the two sides failed to reach a financial agreement. BET wants the lawsuit dismissed, contending Mattocks hasn’t raised any valid legal claims.Mattocks says one measure of her page’s value was the 7.7 million “likes” it amassed by summer 2012. BET counters that the number of “likes” are not grounds for her to win damages in the lawsuit. A preliminary scheduling hearing on the case is set for Thursday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale.
