Megaupload has for years been a popular downloading site for people to upload and download files for storage and sharing purposes.
On January 19, 2012, immediately following the SOPA blackout protest by sites like Wikipedia and Reddit, the FBI decided it would be a prime time to shut the site down.
In response, Anonymous DDoS'd them (because that totally will make a long-term difference) and shut down the FBI web site for a while.
