(from a passionate member, Ryan)
On January 11, 2008, the world learned that Hasbro, creators of the popular game Scrabble, has sent a cease and desist letter to Facebook and others over the popular Facebook application Scrabulous. The copyright infringement is obvious and, in retrospect, the developers of Scrabulous should have done more to create their own spin on it (rather than using the same color systems and numerical systems and having the rules to Scrabulous game link to the Scrabble Wikipedia page).
We in this group realize this, but we urge Hasbro to make the right decision. Rather than kill this application, they should work out a peaceful compromise with the developers to keep this success going. Many of the daily 500,000+ users of Scrabulous never played Scrabble before, but they were introduced to it using this friendly and convenient format. This application earns roughly $25,000 monthly in revenues from advertisements, which part of which could theoretically go to Hasbro if the parties come to a peaceful compromise.
We urge Hasbro to make the right decision. Don’t tick off the millions of Facebook Scrabulous fans that use this application

Here is the contact info for two key Hasbro executives. Can you please put it in the group description. I think courteous letters written to these people would be much more effective (i.e., more likely to be read thoughtfully and by someone with actual influence) than ones written to customer service or "consumer affairs".
