"As of Tuesday, 25th September 2007, Demonoid is currently down, with no prior warnings from any moderators of the site. Both the main torrent page and the forum (fora) are no longer accessible. It is still possible to ping and trace the IP address of the site and it locates itself as in Canada. As of 6:45pm EST on 9-25-07, SSH and SMTP services are no longer active.
Torrentfreak.com has since reported this is due to legal actions from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) who ordered Demonoid's ISP to shut down the site."

Weak, I liked Demonoid for things I did not want to waste my ratio with on other sites, haha.

never used it, but it seems like it was a good resource.
as per usual, it met it's demise sooner than later.

wtf.
I have a hard time believing that a Canadian association would do that.
But I guess they did.
Sucks.
Eh, whatever. There are lots of other great sites for torrents out there.
Thing is...there are some things that are hard to find elsewhere. And Demonoid almost always has seeders for every single file.

"Due to recent copyright cases launched by the MPAA the site was forced to move its headquarters to Canada to avoid the fate of other BitTorrent websites such as Torrentspy."
Hmm...see, this is what I was thinking. Usually Canada is where a site moves when another country threatens a torrent site (usually from the US).
Ima talk to those damn CRIA.
*goes next door

Thanks, MONEYCIDE :)
I like the guy who posted it:
"Just for the record, the CRIA (despite the name) does NOT represent Canadian artists and the Canadian music industry. It is an AMERICAN association based in Canada to represent the RIAA here"

"All the current rumors are false until we can confirm wihtout a doubt what is going on. The only person who knows is Deimos. Deimos has a life and intends to live it which means Demonoid.com will be down until spare time is made and Deimos fixes it. "
canadians are cooler than that. we have lives.

hahah, I think the site is just hosted at a Canadian site, I don't think the guy himself is Canadian.
Right?
- Jaline0
Yup, he's in Moscow.
Russians are alright, I guess.

I sure hope they come back up, for as ridiculous as the site is set up in terms of basically only being able to see the most recent posts - it is quite handy.
- M0NEYCIDE0
well russians have lives and i knew the canadian recording industry was still cooler than that.
