SONY got a ticking off by UK prime minister Tony Blair today.

At the weekly question time, a member of parliament for a Manchester constituency drew his attention to Sony ripping off Manchester Cathedral's interior for violent game the Fall of Man.

Given the level of gun crime in Manchester, the MP asked Blair what he thought about Sony's behaviour. Blair said that Sony needed to be more sensitive and responsible and large companies should think about things other than just making profits. 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.
