Facebook Wants Ownership Case Thrown Out

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday July 21, 2010 @10:52AM from the your-own-personal-facebook dept.

crimeandpunishment writes "Attorneys for Facebook and a New York man claiming majority ownership of the site faced off in a Buffalo courtroom Tuesday, and if Facebook gets its way there won't be too many more days in court. The site wants to get Paul Ceglia's claim thrown out of court. He claims a seven-year-old agreement with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg entitles him to 84 percent of the company. Facebook acknowledges Ceglia and Zuckerberg worked together, but says the contract Ceglia submitted was full of 'things that don't make sense.'"

I predict lawyers will be made very rich, and Facebook will continue on its stead decline of user approval rating. Because we all know that whoever wins, they're going to change the UI again, make uploading pictures more buggy, and mine your data.
