Oh No! Hasbro Vs. Facebook/Scrabulous

Potentially bad news for fans of the popular Facebook application: lawyers for the makers of the Scrabble game have asked that the application be withdrawn from the site due to copyright infringment.


Count me as one Facebook user who's happily passed a bit of time playing the game with people in various parts of the world, as well as a user who's grown more than a wee bit tired of spam applications and the attendant invitations one must send out in order to use it; the former has certainly outweighed the annoyance factor of the latter from my view, an informal chat with the opponent about whatever is happening on that day (or days). Hopefully, a licensing arrangement, talked about in the BBC article, can be forthcoming.
