StreamCast Sues eBay, 21 Others

An AP newswire article by Alex Veiga, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

The firm behind Morpheus on-line file-swapping software is suing eBay Inc. and 21 other defendants in a dispute over the right to technology used to make telephone calls over the Internet.

The federal lawsuit filed by Los Angeles-based StreamCast Networks Inc. also names as defendants Internet phone service provider Skype and the founders of Kazaa BV, which the suit claims developed the technology that led to the on-line phone service.

StreamCast claims it had the right of first refusal when the founders of Kazaa sold the company and transferred its phone technology to another firm.
