The letter from Ticketmaster's lawyers claims that an image in one of Socializr's event designs featuring snowflakes is too similar to an Evite design that includes a different piece of artwork that also contains snowflakes. The letter also claims that Socializr infringes upon Evite's copyrights due to similarities in website look and feel.
Evite is a nine year old event planning website that was acquired by Ticketmaster/InterActiveCorp in 2001. InterActiveCorp is publicly traded on NASDAQ with a market capitalization of over $10 Billion. InterActiveCorp owns numerous Internet businesses such as Ask Jeeves, Citysearch, CollegeHumor, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Match.com in addition to Evite and Ticketmaster.
