It looks like the legal mess surround the original code for facebook was stolen, is still not resolved. Good thing Facebook has funds to defend it’s case.
Facebook will now have to defend against a lawsuit that accuses founder Mark Zuckerberg of stealing computer code, an appeals court has recently decided.
Yesterday’s decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston revived a 2004 suit by ConnectU Inc. founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss that was dismissed last year on procedural grounds.
“Although the defendants have advanced other arguments, those arguments are either unavailing, or inadequately developed, or both,” a three-judge panel wrote in the opinion.”
Nothing was mentioned for when they might have to appear back in court. My guess is this will drag on for a while in our speedy judicial system.
