This is an old story, but now that Facebook is going mainstream and becoming more and more popular, they are facing legal problems again.
ConnectU is suing Facebook and its executives for copyright infringement, breach of actual or implied contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, unfair business practices, intentional interference with prospective business advantage, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, fraud and breach of confidence. Facebook is also suing ConnectU for business torts and unfair business practices.
ConnectU has filed a lawsuit against Facebook because some source code “stolen” by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, from Tyler Winklevoss e Divya Narendra, founders of ConnectU, when the former worked as programmer for ConnectU.
The first hearing will be on July 25th. The risk for Zuckeberg is that Facebook can be closed down and the whole project could move to Nerendra and Winklevoss’s hands.
I don’t believe this will really happen, anyway July 25th won’t surely be a relaxing day for Zuckerberg
