AN ALLIANCE of Japanese telly, music and film companies has had a pop at Youtube saying the outfit was not doing enough to rid the site of cartoons and other clips that infringe on copyrights.

It doubted that Youtube's automatic video recognition and purging system being developed would be reliable or quick enough to solve the problem.

Spokesman for the alliance, composer Hideki Matsutake told the Washington Post that Youtube had to be switched off and the illegal clips purged.

He said that he wanted them them to reset the service. There was no middle ground and he demanded that all copyrighted material be removed immediately.

Youtube is jolly popular in Japan and clips from TV and the music industry are rampant on t'site.

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.
