FORTINET and Trend Micro have drawn a line under their longstanding patent dispute.

Trend Micro had accused Fortinet's FortiGate boxes of infringing its patent covering virus scanning at the gateway.

Terms of the settlement were not made available, but the rottweilers at the International Trade Commission (ITC) have been called off.

Last summer, the ITC ordered Fortinet to stop selling products with antivirus software. This left many Fortinet resellers in the lurch and unclear about when they'd be able to resume sales. 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.
