RJ Softwares, the creators of the popular Facebook game Scrabulous, can now rest easy as Hasbro drops the copyright infringement lawsuit they filed in order to protect their precious Scrabble.
The lawsuit came about after their requests to Facebook to remove the Scrabble game went unanswered. Days after the lawsuit hit, the creator's of Scrabulous removed the game themselves, replacing it soon after with a retooled version in the form of Wordscraper.
Old Media vs New! I reckon Scrabulous generated offline sales, I know I went out and bought Scrabble again after playing it online religously for about a month. They should have looked to revenue share with the brothers rather than slap a lawsuit on them.

They're probably going to have more sales now after that big Nintendo DS boo boo as well. All the kids will want to spell t*ts and f*cker!

Yep. Hasbro should have worked with Scrabulous, not against them. Hasbro are the clear losers here.
