Yes, Facebook took our "Pages" Down

Free Fire Cider and Fire Cider Pages and even our "World Fire Cider Making Day Event" have been taken down by Facebook.  Facebook has cited that an Amy Huebner (who just happens to own Shire City Herbals)said that these pages violated their intellectual property and was an infringement.  I have been warned that if I start another page I may be blocked from using facebook entirely.  That doesnt stop anyone else from starting "pages" and citing the "Fire Cider" page as an infringement on our intellectual property.
Do what thou wilt and we will continue to boycott, we don't need facebook to do it!

    Perhaps Rosemary should file thee same trademark infringement on their fb page... might be harder fer them ter explain that ter their customer base... or even send a similar notice to their web hosting agent. Losing their web page would really let them think about what they be doin.

    Maybe we all should file a complaint with FB stating that Shire City Herbals is infringing on our rights to use, sell distribute an age old herbal remedy that was handed down for public use by the elders. FB might see things more clearly if they are flooded with infringement complaints.

    When one FB falls, another should rise up to take its place: https://www.facebook.com/we.are.fire.cider

    This pissed me off. I am sending via snail mail letters to stores carrying their products. Join me! Or you can alternately send a message via the store's Facebook or twitter or email. Keep the battle strong, brothers and sisters!

    Peace.
