A UK JUDGE SENTENCED three individuals to jail for inciting terrorism and holy war on the web.

Younes Tsouli was jailed for 10 years, while his associates Tariq al-Daour and Waseem Mughal got 6½ years and 7½ years jail respectively.

After a two month trial, all three changed their pleas from not guilty to guilty earlier this week, and admitted being involved in credit card and bank fraud.

Mr Justice Openshaw said the men had sponsored "cyber jihad" and promoted the death of non-believers by a combination of contributions to online forums and their own websites. 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.
