Dormitory Room on February 4, 2004. Within 24 hours, 1,200 Harvard students had

The legal case against Facebook dates back to September
2004, when Divya Narendra, and the Brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who
founded the Social-Networking site ConnectU, accused Mr.Zuckerberg of copying
their Ideas and Coding. Mr Zuckerberg had worked as a Computer Programmer for
them when they were all at Harvard before Facebook was created.
The case was dismissed due to a technicality in March 2007
but without a ruling.
The network was promptly extended to other Boston
Universities, the Ivy League and eventually all US Universities. It became
Facebook.com in August 2005 after the address was purchased for $200,000. US
High Schools could sign up from September 2005, then it began to spread
