A HACKETTE in Taiwan sued by the head honcho of Hon Hai (Foxconn) has provoked a mass revolt by the Association of Taiwan Journalists (ATJ), Digitimes reports.

According to the wire, the chairman of Hon Hai went incandescent about a report written by Joyce Kuang of the Commercial Times.

The article, headed "Intel's new platform to benefit Hon Hai" was about how Foxconn might benefit from the introduction of the LGA775 socket.

Hon Hai issued an injunction against Kuang on the 15th of December. The ATJ is worried that financial wealth may threaten press freedom.

It is organising a petition and getting together with other press associations around the world to send protest letters to Hon Hai customers including Dell, Sony, Nokia and HP.

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.
