A quote from the author: "I hope other sites violated by Power.com such as Google, Microsoft, MySpace, and Hi5 put a stop to websites like Power harvesting user data."

However, Facebook uses exactly the same method for harvesting contact details from other sites: http://www.facebook.com/findfriends.php

Should Facebook sue itself?

Don't you know? It's okay when THEY do it. Just not when YOU do it.
