After the operators of the social network Facebook filed a lawsuit against the German student community StudiVZ in a Californian court last July, Facebook is now also taking its competitor to court in Germany. StudiVZ is a plagiarism of the American Facebook, the logo, features and service have been copied. StudiVZ has also allegedly illegally gained access to Facebook's computer system and copied data such as the source code. A spokesperson for the Holtzbrinck portal told DPA that the allegations were unfounded.
In fact, the only major difference between the two platforms is their color scheme: Facebook is blue, StudiVZ is red. Otherwise, the two competitors have almost everything in common, from the nudge function to the pinboard and the design.
