Facebook In Court

ScaredOfTheMan writes "'The lawsuit, filed by brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, accuses Zuckerberg, Facebook's 23-year-old C.E.O, of stealing the source code, design, and business plan for Facebook in 2003 when he briefly worked in the Harvard dorms as a programmer for their own fledgling social-networking site, now known as ConnectU. The plaintiffs have demanded that Facebook be shut down and that full control of the site — and its profits — be turned over to them.' I just wonder why they waited so long to sue? If he really stole their idea in 2003, why wait four years?"

Musta only stole the good bits

Well he must have only stole the good bits, loaded up the front page of ConnectU and must say that it looks like crap.

why wait four years? just to make ScaredOfTheMan look like a tool for being ignorant of the legal system.

dismissed w/o prejudice = they can refile the lawsuit

lack of diversity among parties = someone vandalized wikipedia.

It's not like this is Digg, where opinion is preferred over fact.

precedent

[Jeek Elemental]

I hope this ends setting some kind of precedent, where lawyers everywhere are forced to reference the Winklevoss-Zuckerberg case with a straight face.

[Derosian]

Look at the user who submitted it for an explanation of why.

That's all very well, but which Cambridge? Is it the one in England or Massachusetts?
