Hasbro Blinded By Intellectual Property

Everybody knows by now that Hasbro is suing the makers of the Scrabulous, and managed to get them to shut down.

I think Hasbro should buy Scrabulous instead of suing them. It’s an ideal solution - the makers of Scrabulous get rewarded for an innovative bit of programming, Hasbro gets the audience that it wanted in the first place, Hasbro gets to look like the good guy for not suing.

Unfortunately, Hasbro has been blinded by the idea that someone has violated their IP. Wake up and smell the Internet Hasbro! Work with it, not against it.
