VID SITE YouTube has got itself in bother again, this time with a Turkish court.

A court ordered the site to be downed because it was carrying videos maligning Kemal Ataturk, the father of modern Turkey.

Turk Telekom withdrew access to YouTube in Turkey after an Istanbul court ordered that.

A message on the site says the site is being blocked because of that decision.

AP reported that in the last two weeks there's been a virtual YouTube war between Turks and Greeks. 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.
