COPYRIGHT COPS teamed up with real plod from Strathclyde to raid Honeywell premises in Motherwell yesterday morning.

The pirate hunters turned their eyeglass towards Honeywell after an employee claimed that music was being shared willy-nilly on the company's network.

Some employees appear to have been carted off to assist the plod with their fumblings.

BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor said: "Filesharing music in the workplace is illegal, misuses company resources, wastes employees' time and introduces network security risks," none of which is necessarily true. 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.
