The fight between Scrabble and Scrabulous continues to unfold. As we have reported earlier, Scrabble owners Hasbro filed a lawsuit claiming the developers of the Facebook word game application Scrabulous violated their copyrights because their game was too similar to the real Scrabble game. Later Facebook decided to take down Scrabulous.Now the Scrabulous creators, Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla, have returned with a new Facebook word game, Wordscraper, that looks and feels much different than their first effort. Will this new alteration keep the Hasbro folks from any more legal action? Stay tuned. Meanwhile the official Scrabble Facebook game, developed by Electronic Arts, has come back online after hack attacks forced its shutdown on Tuesday.

Personally, I have to side with Hasbro on this one. They have every right to protect their IP from knock-offs.
