RESELLERS in Gujarat went on strike against Microsoft after the Vole issued six Surat firms with anti-piracy notices.

DQ Channels reported that Microsoft organised a sting operation revealing that pirated versions of its operating system were being installed on PCs.

Microsoft fined the resellers two lakh rupees, but according to the wire this has caused Gujarat resellers to boycott the firm.

Mind you, if the dealers are installing pirated copies of Microsoft software, a boycott isn't going to make much difference, is it? 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.
