Inching to metric

It's simple, the english language has no own words for things smaller than an inch.
So until they go below the inch, and sometimes 1/2 and 3/8th of an inch, they switch to nanometer.
Another strange thing is that for plumbing-parts and LCD screens they use parts of an inch and inch in my EU country where they normally exclusively use metric, which I think is pretty sad, especially in the LCD case since LCD's are new and the whole world agreed to go metric many years ago.
I guess the IT personal lacks the expertise and technology to convert to metric, or they fear rounding things?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
