The online activist group Anonymous, which opposes copyright enforcement, took responsibility for a series of network attacks January 19th on government and entertainment industry websites, after US officials shutdown of Megaupload,com and arrests of seven people across the globe on charges of distributing illegal copies of movies, music, and electronic books. Some sites experienced service disruptions; the Justice Department, Universal Music Group and BMI, which collects copyright royalties for composers, were knocked offline. The US Copyright Office and the Recording Industry Association of America sites were also attacked.
