LEGAL EAGLES for the Scientologists have succeeded in shutting down a site that takes the Michael out of one of its more famous followers, Mr Tom Cruise.

The site www.ScienTOMogy.info was run by kiwi Glen Stollery, who used it to store parody videos of Cruise. These included depictions of Cruise and his wife-to-be Katie Holmes in straight jackets and zapping telly host Oprah Winfrey with an electric current.

Apparently, it was not the videos that miffed the Scientologists. It was the fact that Stollery had cyber squitted on the trademarked Scientology name.

Stollery has agreed to shift his site away from the scienTOMogy.info name and put it elsewhere. He is keeping the name.

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.
