Breakfast briefing: Briton arrested over file sharing site, while Facebook continues quest for world domination

• British prosecutions against the people who run file sharing sites have been few and far between - but one could be on the cards, after a man in Somerset was arrested over his links to FileSoup. We've got a full report here.

• Facebook continues its attempt to take over the world; traffic figures suggest it is now the fourth largest web property in the world (behind Google, Microsoft and Yahoo), reports TechCrunch.

• Here's one you might have missed over the past couple of months: UK games entrepreneur Tim Langdell has been accused of being a trademark troll by forcing an iPhone game developer, Mobigame, to change the name of one of their titles, Edge. Langdell has a history of this, which has caused controversy in some quarters. Eurogamer has a long, interesting piece that talks to both sides and explains some of what's happened.
