4. If it's the flagging tools

Then it's a growing pain that FB will need to get through. YouTube has had the same problem. One of the channels I enjoy watching is, "The Bible Reloaded," which is two guys doing "dramatic" readings of Chick Tracts, Bible studies from an atheist viewpoint, and what had been getting them in trouble - reviews of Christian movies, using clips, which is protected under the fair use act, but an employee for one film company kept tagging them for copyright abuse, and YouTube would take them at their word. They finally hired lawyers who talked to both YouTube and the film company, and I think YouTube is working to change things, and the film group tried to pass it off as they didn't know what was happening but would tell the employee to knock it off.
