US FEDERAL Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin has announced that he is leaving the agency to join a non-partisan think tank called the Aspen Institute.

Martin announced that he was leaving the FCC on Thursday but did not say when he was cleaning out his desk.

His announcement follows the news that President-elect Barack Obama has named open internet fan Julius Genachowski to be the next FCC chairman. 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.
