A SAO PAULO court ordered that YouTube remove a video featuring two celebrities engaging in sex on a beach in Spain.

According to this Brazilian web site, YouTube was ordered to down the vid, but the report said that was some time ago, and the court ordered it to pay around $125,000 for each day it hadn't pulled it.

That's now totted up to a hefty sum of money. 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.
