Hasbro Using DMCA on Facebook Game Apps

Posted by Zonk on from the bit-of-overkill-dont-you-think dept.

Boggle Addict writes "Rather than participating in the online gaming market, Hasbro is suppressing it with litigation. Scrabulous, a Scrabble imitation, is already fighting to prevent being shut down. Today, Hasbro sent out DMCA notices to other apps on Facebook, including Bogglific, a Boggle imitation. Copyright law has has always held very limited protections for games. This may be opening a can of worms for Hasbro.

  1. Which game would be most challenging naked? by Gizzmonic · · Score: 0, Troll

    Naked Boggle, naked Scrabble, naked Taboo, or naked Minesweeper?

    Or naked Monopoly with Uncle Pennybags swollen testi-sack?

    I'll bet stuff like this already exists on the Internet.
