THE BANGALORE edition of the Sunday Times reports the local cops are struggling to deal with a mass of email abuse cases.

The report said the cyber crime cops have 533 enquiries pending including defamation, identity theft and harassment. It said that while the offences fall under the Indian Information Act 2000, cases rarely come to court for fear of more harassment.

Karnataka has the largest proportion of this type of crime in the entire country.

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.
