The Social Network: In real life!

Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg scored a major victory on Monday, when a U.S. appeals court ruled that the Winklevoss twins could not appeal their previous settlement with Facebook over claims that Zuckerberg had stolen their idea for a similar site. But the victory may prove to be short-lived.

Another of Zuckerberg's former challengers, Paul Ceglia, has again reared his head. Ceglia, a New York state businessman, has produced new evidence in his case against Facebook. Last year, Ceglia filed a lawsuit claiming that Zuckerberg had signed a contract in 2003 that awarded Ceglia $1,000 and a 50-percent stake in the fledgeling social network. In return, Ceglia said that he worked as a designer and developer on Zuckerberg's site, while Zuckerberg worked as a coder for Ceglia's StreetFax.com.

Facebook denied Ceglia's initial claims, and many wondered why Ceglia had waited seven years to come forward. In addition, Ceglia had been arrested in 2009 and charged with criminal fraud.

While Ceglia's allegations seemed far-fetched in 2010, Business Insider reports that he has refiled his case and has brought forward more than a dozen emails allegedly written by Zuckerberg in 2003 and 2004.
