As Facebook prepares for its IPO, a lawsuit against CEO/Founder Mark Zuckerberg, alleging he stole the original code for the site, heads to court, reports TechCrunch.

Filed in 2004 when Facebook had a paltry 200,000 members, the lawsuit argues Zuckerberg's inspiration for Facebook came from a previous programming gig he took under Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra for HarvardConnect.com, now known as ConnectU.

The plaintiffs demand that Facebook be shut down and that full control of the site and its profits be turned over to them.
