A SPORTS REPORTER was kicked out of a press box during a baseball game with the authorities claiming live Internet updates were forbidden.

The journalist, from the Courier-Journal, wasn't live casting the event, but instead blogging after events in the NCAA game happened.

The NCCA revoked his press credentials and said it considered blogs to be a live representation. It claims no one is allowed to bog between the beginning and the end of a game. The newspaper is considering making a formal complaint on the ruling.

The paper's lawyer said the rule probably breached the First Amendment. 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.
