BIG SOFTIE Microsoft says it had been granted extra time to respond to the threat of a $2 million-a-day sanction imposed by the European Commission because of its brawny monopolistic attitude.

The Vole had been given until tomorrow (Wednesday) to explain itself, having seemingly failed to share Windows protocols with its competitors as the Eurocrats had demanded.

Now the software cobbler says it is having trouble getting together all the relevant facts and could it have a bit more time, please.

According to Reuters, the company has been given until February 15th to get its act together. 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.
