Mattel in war of words over Scrabulous.
Assuming Facebook stays in the headlines long enough - that is, it isn’t superceded by something else next week - we’re probably going to see more stories like this.
Addicts of Scrabulous, an online word game played by millions of office workers on Facebook, may soon have to go cold turkey because of a looming copyright battle with the owners of Scrabble. The two entrepreneurs behind Scrabulous, who are making more than $25,000 a month from their widely downloaded application, face a legal challenge from the two toy companies that own the rights to the board game.
As an avowed non-facebook-app-user, I’d be interested to hear about other FB apps that may find themselves in the same sort of hot water that Scrabulous currently is. Facebook Vampire perhaps? ;)
