Document Summary

Case #1: the importance of contracts for business relationships and protecting ideas. In 2003, harvard university student mark zuckerberg (jesse eisenberg) is dumped by his girlfriend erica albright (rooney mara) at a bar. He returns to his dorm drunk and writes a scathing blog entry about her while drinking beer. This inspires him to create an on- campus website called facemash which allows users to rate the attractiveness of female students using photographs pilfered from various university systems while simultaneously blogging about how to hack the sites. Mark receives six months of academic probation after traffic to the site crashes parts of harvard"s network. Facemash"s popularity and the fact that mark created it in one night while drunk brings him to the attention of cameron and tyler winklevoss (both portrayed by armie. Hammer) and their business partner divya narendra (max minghella).
