BRIEFS from Apple's trademark enforcement department have written angry letters to an open source group over the ipodder.

Ipodder Lemon was free software distributed under a GPL licence to manage podcasts. M'Learned friends from Apple have sent a cease and desist notice to the the ipodder code writers saying that they were "decieving users" that the software was connected to Apple's iPod device.

A spokesperson for the coders Scott Grayban said here that although they had expected such action from Apple they didn't really expect them to be so anal about it.

The coders have changed the product's name to "Juice" or "Juice Receiver" possibly to avoid having themselves squeezed by Apple's legal eagles until the pips popped.

The new website is now here.

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.
