    Uh, what do you need help with? Getting the page back under your control? File a report on Facebook.

    Honestly it's entirely possible that Facebook took over the page from you because you were using the band's name.

    When you create a page it asks you to authorize that you are posting your own material and that you have full rights to do so. Since the band is trademarked, you technically do not have that right.

    I've heard of something similar happening to a Coheed and Cambria page. The band's managers found the page and reported it to Facebook as a fraud and took over the group.

    Especially if you set it up as a band, organization page and not as a community page - band, organization pages are the ones where you have to be an official representative, especially for major acts, be it bands or actors or whatever. Community pages are the annoying ones you get about any and everything and those are usually much more lax - they were designed for "causes," but the majority are for things like "LIKE IF YOU THINK A THOUSAND SUNS IS SEXY."

    Which it is, by the way.

    If someone took control of your page, then they hacked into your account. That's weird you are not saying that you can't access to your facebook. So in.the.shadows must be right....

    I worked for this page so much..used to post all the recent news gathered from sites like lpassociation,lplive etc. I never did any injustice i always put this(source:lpassociation.com) below the posts taken from lpassociation. I also asked quizz from which they come to know more and more about the band

    Agreed. Linkin Park (The New Sound) as in their sound on ATS as in the album that came out a little over a month ago? How much work is it to copy/paste news about a band into a Facebook post...? I don't mean to attack you but if someone DID hack the page and change it up, who would notice/care?

    Seriously, I bet most of your followers hid your little status updates. That's what I did when I used to "like" random shit. Let it go dude.
