Facebook Files Suit Against German Social Portal StudiVZ

Facebook is taking German social network portal StudiVZ to the courts for being a copycat and is seeking an undisclosed amount of money as damages. It is funny that Facebook itself had been embroiled in a lawsuit with ConnectU which accused Facebook for stealing its idea.

So the gist is that Facebook stole the idea from ConnectU but StudiVZ stole the same idea from Facebook. Get it? Of course, no party has admitted to it. Even if they did, would they admit? No, right?

StudiVZ meanwhile has stated that Facebook is only jealous that they are unable to penetrate the German market while StudiVZ has ten million German members. That’s quite a number there.

I enclosed a screenshot each of Facebook and StudiVZ so that you can compare them and see if StudiVZ has copied Facebook and if Facebook has a case against StudiVZ. What do you think? You be the judge!
