If I cast Curtain of Light on a Demon of Loathing that's attacking me, will the demon assign 0 or 7 combat damage to me?

Curtain of Light will have little practical effect in this instance, because "becomes blocked" effects have the same interaction with trample as removing a blocking creature from combat does. In other words, the Demon's controller will still be able to have it deal combat damage to you equal to its power (and of course, you will have to sacrifice a creature when its triggered ability resolves).
