THE AUTHORITIES in China are introducing a scheme in June which will allow parents to find out how much time their kids are spending playing games.

According to the People's Daily, kids will use an ID card before they can start playing games.

The "public security department" will verify the information online and if there's hanky panky, gamers stand to lose their ranking.

China has 111 million Internet users, said the Peeps, and 20 million online gamers. 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.
