Here's a quick summary of events:

* On Wednesday, thousands of websites participated in an "internet blackout", protesting against proposed US anti-piracy legislation.

* Yesterday, file-sharing website Megaupload was shut down, and its founders arrested.

The charge? Online piracy alleged to have cost the entertainment industry more than half a billion dollars.

* Overnight, websites belonging to the FBI, Department of Justice, RIAA, MPAA, Universal and others were struck by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
