Man suing Facebook must give email access

A man suing for part ownership of Facebook must give lawyers for the social networking company access to every email he has exchanged since 2003, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

It's about time this thing backfired. Ceglia sounds like a huge opportunist and fraud.

Why would the court give the other side access to all the e-mail? Why not just the relevant ones.

Put in a counter application for all of Facebook's emails regarding this case. Would they show him the same leeway?

FB must be getting upset what with world+dog suing them.

Of course, emails need to be exchanged between all the parties. What's good for the goose, is also good for the gander

Yes. Its Ceglia that needs to prove he if he owns half. Not the other way around

+1. The court does not have to because Ceglia has to prove his claim.

Emails simply will not prove this. IMO what is happening is that FB's argument is that Ceglia's actions are malicious and evidence thereof can be found in his emails. The same leeway should apply to Ceglia if he countered that FB are intentionally hiding the fact that he is a deserved shareholder in the company. Personally, I couldn't give a crap...
