Ebay In Litigation With Skype Founders Over Key Technology
Perhaps with the benefit of hindsight, firing Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom as CEO in 2007 and paying out only 1/3 of the potential earnout wasn’t the best idea. Zennstrom seems to be holding quite a grudge.

The existing peer-to-peer software is controlled by Joltid, a company controlled by Skype’s founders Zennstrom and Janus Friis. The software was not acquired by eBay in its 2005 acquisition of the Skype service and is now the subject of litigation in the UK.

The action was intended to prevent the struggling business from continuing to trade and thus putting other potential suppliers at risk, rather than to receive payment of the debt as the expectation would have been that there would have been many creditors and few company assets.
More recently, creditors have started to use winding up petitions specifically as debt collection tools. Instead of than issuing a county court judgement (CCJ) which could then be ignored, creditors are choosing to issue the winding up petition Continue Reading
