Knowing how addictive it could be, I have been putting off adding Scrabulous to my FaceBook. Good thing as well, because like many folk I had just assumed that they had the rights to make it. Turns out the 2 lads from India didn’t, and they’ve been making money from Hasbro’s product.

It has been claimed that the brothers are receiving $US25,000 ($A27,853) per month in advertising revenue from Facebook.

From 500,000 users per day, that is 1/6th of a cent per user, per day.

Obviously Hasbro could have sent their cease and desist a long time ago - my guess is they were waiting until their own FaceBook app is ready to roll, and they will instantly get a massive userbase.
