THE HEAD OF HP in Bangalore will be prosecuted after one of the firm’s employees was raped and murdered on her way home.

Som Mittal headed up the Bangalore branch of HP when Pratibha Srikanth Murthy was murdered by a taxi driver taking her home from a night shift in December 2005.

The Times reports that Mittal will be charged with breaking state laws which protect women but only faces a fine of RS1,000 (~$25) if convicted.

The report said some firms, such as Infosys, give women workers pepper sprays, while others including HP offer martial arts training. 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.
