Plurk 1: Microsoft 0

design_theft

Microsoft has suspended a new internet messaging service in China, after it emerged that the site was partially based on code stolen from a rival startup.

The site, Juku, launched in November is similar in concept to other online messaging systems like Twitter. But earlier this week the team behindPlurk, a young internet company based in Canada and popular with users across Asia, accused Microsoft of directly copying as much as 80% of the code to run the program.

Read the rest here.

OK. But what resolutions? I hope it is not an outright buy over. I certainly do not want to see advertisement banners on my Plurk profile nor advertisments in any other forms.

The post serves as an update to the previous post: {UPDATED} Plagiarism at its best: Microsoft China steals Plurk’s concept
