MEMORY IP firm Rambus will be charged by the European Union for alleged antitrust behaviour.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the EU alleges Rambus charged royalties that were over the odds for memory patents that became industry standards.

The EU is following the FTC's lead - a few weeks ago the US body said that JEDEC was hoodwinked by Rambus members of the memory committee.

Rambus has 10 weeks to respond to the EU allegations. µ

INQ Poll

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.
