JAPAN'S Canon has decided to recall more than 140,000 personal copiers because they could produce smoke or catch fire.

The outfit said that it would inspect and replace three compact personal copier models made in Japan between 1987 and 1997 due to a faulty connection involving the power cord.

It believes that only 270,000 units are still in use. One caught fire in Japan earlier this year, but there were three cases overseas in 1998. Nice to know they were on the ball.

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.
