A FIRM FILED A PATENT infringement case against Microsoft and Adobe in the Tyler division of a Texas district court.

Aloft Media alleges that both Microsoft and Adobe have breached a patent called "Network browser graphical user interface for managing web content" and another patent Aloft said it owns.

The patent numbers are 7,117, 443 and 7,194, 691.

Adobe, claims the writ, infringes on these patents in products including Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Professional and Acrobat 3D.

Microsoft is alleged to infringe the patents in both Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Vista.

Aloft wants the usual remedies in these cases after a jury trial. µ

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.
