Quand Facebook censure la pomme

Je me demande bien quelle est l'utilité d'avoir une touche permettant de représenter le logo Apple sur le clavier Mac si son utilisation est restreinte sur des sites comme Facebook ?

Une page menacée à cause de cette politique

Le créateur de cette page a reçu un email provenant de Facebook lui demandant de proposer un nouveau nom à sa page car l'utilisation seule du logo Apple via la touche prévue à cet effet engendrerais une violation de copyright :

Subject: Using the Apple Logo on a Facebook Fan Page

Hi, I started a Facebook Fan Page called (the Apple Logo as typed using Option + Shift + k)

It's been brought to my attention by Facebook that this may be infringing copyright, if so I will comply accordingly. It is a fan page of 110,000 people now and many of them joined because they're Apple Fans, so this page and it's contents is not derogatory or against Apple.

I've been perusing the page: https://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html and I'm uncertain if my use is a breach of copyright.

Would you please advise which route you would like me to take in regard to this page

1. Leave the page name as it currently is:
2. Add a word or phrase to the name: e.g. "Fans of "
3. Not use the typed logo: e.g: "Fans of Apple"
4. Not use the word Apple: e.g. "Fans of Computer Company Named After That Red, Roundish Fruit"

Your quick reply is appreciated as Facebook administration is awaiting my reply as to what to change the name to.

La réponse d'Apple est à venir et je suis très curieux de la lire. Va-t'on bientôt devoir reprocher à la firme de la pomme d'avoir représenté leur logo sous forme de caractère ?

Vous en pensez quoi vous autres ?

Mise à jour

Aucune réponse de la part d'Apple apparemment. Facebook a finalement renommé la page en « Fans of Apple ».
Dommage...
