(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-09-17 14:04 SAN FRANCISCO: A company owned by the founders of Skype has filed a copyright suit against the Internet phone service and parent eBay, an action that could crimp plans to sell Skype for about $2 billion to a group of private investors.
Friis and Zennstrom sold Skype to eBay for $2.6 billion in 2005 and left the company a couple of years later. Joltid is seeking an injunction on Skype's use of the technology as well as damages it says could total more than $75 million per day. |
