  Facebook claims Ceglia remained silent for more 
  than six years and his claim is probably too 
  old to pursue.
Have any independent legal experts corroborated Facebook's statement that "his claim is too old to pursue"?

Just one additional note:

The only reason this case got headlines was because a judge entered a TRO and this usually signifies that a case has merit of some kind. This case is an exception, however, as explained in my comment linked to above (explaining why the case has serious problems).

As a follow up, upon removal of the case to federal court, the TRO has essentially already been dissolved: see http://www.allfacebook.com/2010/07/facebook-asset-freeze-str....


"Ceglia may be planning to argue that the statute of limitations didn't start until the contract was breached, which would have set the clock ticking in 2004, said Scott & Scott partner Julie Machal-Fulks."
