Facebook vs. ConnectU

In 2003, ConnectU was accusing Mark Zuckerberg and the original crew of pilfering their ideas. Of course you know Facebook had a countersuit.

"The ConnectU founders asserted they hired Mark, to help them create a campus-wide dating site called, "Harvard Connection." He didn't react to their idea at first. While he was thinking about their idea he was creating his own idea, "The Facebook.com." Both parties were ordered into mediation last year. "All motions in the ConnectU case have been terminated."
