ACCORDING TO the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is trying to bring his smash-hit MySpace property to China. In line for a place on the board: his wife Wendi Deng.

This isn't the first time that being in the family hasn't hurt the job prospects at the Dirty Digger's media empire, of course.

Murdoch's son Lachlan was widely panned for his management at telecoms group One.Tel. His brother, internet entrepreneur James Murdoch, is now CEO of BSkyB where sister Elisabeth was formerly an executive.

Perhaps Sky should consider remaking that popular sitcom Keep It In The Family? 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.
