The company behind the Morpheus file sharing software, StreamCast Networks, updated a lawsuit against Skype's founders and added eBay to the list of defendants. "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?" -- Morpheus, The Matrix Twenty-two defendants including online auctioneer eBay have been named in StreamCast's action against the original Kazaa co-founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. The duo also founded Skype, which they sold to eBay in 2005.
