Lawyers rub hands with glee

NOT CONTENT with making its partners' lives a legal misery in the USA, it appears that chip firm AMD wants to pour money into lawyers' pockets in Europe too.

Computer Business Review reports that AMD has filed an antitrust case against Intel in Germany alleging it breches cartel rules in the country.

AMD already has cases brewing in Asia, in the US and with the European Union - its partners in the US are faced with digging out documents which will probably represent a huge pile in two respects - a mountain of documents and a monumental rack of coin for myriads of American pleaders.

Just this week, Synnex and Toshiba America objected to subpoenas issued in US the case, which is expected to last for a trillion years. 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.
