The social networking site took the action in response to a lawsuit filed against Scrabulous creators Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla.
In the suit Hasbro claims the game is "a clear and blatant" infringement on its copyright and demands it be removed from the site. The suit also seeks unspecified damages.
