Facebook Drops Scrabulous in New Copyright Dispute

Already blocked from Facebook users in the United States and Canada, Scrabulous -- the online imitation of the popular Scrabble board game -- has been yanked by Facebook in all other countries except India in response to a copyright tussle over the game. Facebook said it decided to block access to Scrabulous throughout most of the world in response to a formal request to do so from Mattel, which owns the rights to Scrabble outside North American.
