In July of 2010, Paul Ceglia sued the owner and founder of Facebook, Mark
Zuckerberg, saying that he was the rightful owner of 85% of Facebook. His
said that he loaned Zuckerberg $1000 so that he could start the company
Facebook. The reason that this is going to court is that there is debate
over what website the money that Zuckerberg recieved was used to build.
During that time, Zuckerberg also built a website about job advertising. Ceglia claims that his money went to both sites, while Zuckerberg says that it only went to the advertising website. This lawsuit shows that copyright laws extend far beyond direct copying of other peoples ideas and property. This is a case that emphasizes how difficult it can be determining the winner in cases like these.
