ANY PLANS APPLE may have to rent out Hollywood films online will need a good thrashing-out according to Reuters' sources.

The newswire's un-named executives have reservations about proper DRM and copy protection as well as pricing and so forth. They will bide their time rather than rush into a deal with Jobs which could make him king of online Hollywood.

Media reports have it that Apple wants to launch an online film download service. A price a $3 per film rental has been floated, but Apple is keeping schtumm about the real deal. 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.
