THE BBC is currently showing a violence and sex-laden TV series called Rome, which demonstrates that when it comes to civilisation, the Greeks probably had the edge.

Undeterred by this, Dorling Kindersley is introducing an online game for young kids as part of the publicity for its Eyewitness Book series.

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?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
