Facebook Users Rally to Save Scrabulous

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

No!

Many Facebook users are devastated by the news that their favorite application, Scrabulous, is in danger of being taken down. Toymakers Hasbro and Mattel are telling Facebook to lose the game, claiming the online game infringes their copyright on the classic board game. The word-nerd add-on, created by brothers Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla, two software developers based in Calcutta, is one of Facebook’s 10 most popular applications, attracting 594,924 players daily.
