Once upon a time a few game programmers created an online word game called Scrabulous. That game was made specifically for Facebook and became tremendously popular among the social network's users. Now Hasbro has finally decided to step in. As expected the owners of the Scrabble word game have filed a lawsuit against Scrabulous's creators, accusing them of copyright infringement.Hasbro just launched their own online Scrabble game via publisher Electronic Arts so a lawsuit going after the creators of Scrabulous was inevitable. Hasbro also served Facebook with their own copyright infringment lawsuit, asking that they remove the Scrabulous game immediately from the network. So far there's been no response from the game's creators or Facebook.
