It was only a matter of time until they arrested someone. Putting the controversy surrounding Wikileaks aside, this arrest seems like a good thing. Setting a precedence of not punishing people for DDOS attacks would be definitely be bad. Especially when the DDOS attacks are so simple to do, "download this program, enter http://visa.com into the first box and press Go".
