If you google on the topic you'll see a number of articles suggesting that this is inaccurate. I'm not a fan of FB, but this doesn't seem to be true. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/02/newsflash-facebook-not-cashing-in-on-friends/ is an example. Perhaps both are wrong and something else is happening, but not this time. I don't really trust journalists (or anyone one who makes a living off news) to care about accuracy of their work, so going with just one source is problematic. Cheers.
