20TH Century Fox has subpoenaed YouTube to force it to provide information on who posted leaked episodes of its hit TV series 24 and The Simpsons.

According to Associated Press, Fox also subpoenaed LiveDigital, which said it had complied with the request and immediately removed the items. It is not clear what YouTube plans to do.

Fox was extremely miffed about the episode of 24 which was leaked because the four-hour premier was supposed to be its season showcase. The 12 episodes of The Simpsons identified in the subpoena were also posted online before being broadcast too.

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.
