Anti-Piracy Organization Tries to Shut Down Demonoid

The Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN filed a subpoena against Demonoid’s ISP (Leaseweb) in which they demand that the site will be taken offline. It seems likely that Demonoid’s current downtime is not a hardware problem, they are probably moving to another ISP.

brein Yesterday we reported that the downtime at demonoid was caused by a harddisk crash, but now it seems that the real reason for the downtime could be a bit more complicated.

Demonoid is probably relocating to a new “safe haven” as we speak, this also explains why it takes a few days instead of a few hours to get back online (edit: see update).

Tim Kuik, managing director of BREIN, said in response to the downtime at Demonoid (Dutch link): “They are probably playing hide and seek. We want Leaseweb to take and keep this, and other illegal sites offline.”

This the the fist time that BREIN takes on one of the bigger BitTorrent sites. Last week they won a lawsuit against Leaseweb in a similar case, this could spell trouble for Demonoid.

In this case the Amsterdam court decided that Leaseweb had to take down everlasting.nu and hand over the name and address of the owner. Additionally, Leaseweb was forced to take down everlasting.nu, in case the site returns in the near future. The same thing could now happen to Demonoid.

Nearly 94% of the .torrent files on Demonoid are used to download copyrighted material according to research by TNO. BREIN will probably use this figure in court to convince the Judge that Demonoid is mainly used to download infringing content.

Update: Demonoid now has a message on the frontpage stating that the downtime is not related to the subpoena.

Stay tuned for updates

I assume you mean the domain name? They could only do that if they are the registrar right?

I hope demonoid didn’t use leaseweb as their registrar.

No, I meant the site behind the domain. They are free to move to another ISP if they want to.

Demonoid will be back up soon, they have not been taken down – also note the temporary message from the Demonoid site.

If they had been taken down they would not be able to place that now would they?

then where the hell did you get the idea that it was a hardware problem in the last post?

They have not been taken down, but have merely taken it upon themselves to relocate because of the fuss with everlasting.nu.

It’s good because you know the admins at Demonoid are taking the first step at preventing the same thing from happening to them.

So many good torrent sites, so many bad anti p2p organizations. :(

Well we hope demonoid is back up soon cuse the traker is very slow 5kb/sec with 50 seeds….

Everlasting wasn’t taken down because it was a torrent site, but because they had come back after being taken down once before (as “Ladytorrent”).

Also, the case against Everlasting wasn’t a lawsuit but a “kort geding” (cease & desist), which means that, according to Dutch Law, it CAN’T be used as a legal precedent against sites like Demonoid.

So please, stop the conjecture… it’s just a hardware problem (disk refusing to come back online after a forced disk check) and it’s purely coincidental. (Really.)

Quote from Deimos,

“I tried to force a disk check, and the fucking thing decided not to come back online after a reboot. It seems the data is lost. I have a few days old backup though…

it is definitely not my week.”

“I’ll set up the web server again to at least have a message on the site as soon as the host’s support brings the server back..
it should be in around 6 hours.”

…and maybe join up with piratebay
Yuuref

The cause for the ruling was that the owner of Everlasting.nu was uploading a lot of the torrents, and the ruling does not mention LadyTorrent but BREIN says in their news page that the guy is suspected of running that too. That fact was probably mentioned a few times in court

”
We were planning on returning online in the next few hours – probably tomorrow afternoon. But due some recent events, and following the advice of a lot of you, we will make a few more changes that might take a few days longer. As always, thanks for you continued support and patience. For the ones wondering, the timing of the downtime was coincidental.”

Demonoid will make it through this, all the other sites do.

If you do a whois search on their domain, then enter the IP into RIPE’s server, you can see they are still on Leaseweb (for the moment):

netname: LEASEWEB
descr: LeaseWeb
descr: P.O. Box 93054
descr: 1090BB AMSTERDAM
descr: Netherlands

So, as of yet, they have not moved.

Demonoid is big. BREIN is relatively unexperienced at lawsuits. I am not very scared of BREIN taking down Demonoid. But in the words of a demonoid member if it does go dowbn it is time to fear teh reaper.

You know I say fuck the anti piracy groups. We here in Lisboa will show them that annoying the Portuguese people isnt smart. We have been watching over this entire bit BREIN has been doing and lets just say… Here they won’t have any effect. But we won’t harbor any more then we already have without a very good background check. :-P We Portuguese aren’t the “Original” founders of the world and have one of the smallest pieces of land because we were forced to like most countries.

We all better hope that either Demonoid moves to a new ISP or starts wiping their hard drives before the subpoenas come.

Many countries on Earth. If Brien or the RIAA chase a web site out of one country, it will pop up in another. It doesn’t matter if Demonoid is wearing a Sombrero or in Kalahari Bush Dress. It’s still Demonoid! RIAA learnt nothing from Napster.

ps. I am not retracting my voodoo curse. Hope the yuppie lawuers at Brien enjoy their poxed genitals.

To all the people that think, oh hooray bit torrent will just move to another country if the Dutch chase trackers out of Leaseweb: Obviously you have not spent much time on sites hosted in Malaysia. They don’t have anywhere near the capacity that .nl has and shit is balls slow. It’s also much more expensive.

I’ve never supported Demonoid. What happens when a search warrant is issued against them? Being a tracker with compulsory registration, a shitload of personally identifiable information is being stored on their servers. This may include your e-mail address, IP, which torrents you’ve downloaded / uploaded, etc. This is information that anti-piracy groups can use to mass-prosecute filesharers.

Just stick with open trackers, guys.
R Daneel

Pretty inept management of hardware if it takes many days to recover. I guess everyone spends their energy on other things besides managing the servers.
Gustav

“Just stick with open trackers, guys.”

No thanks,I have been everywhere, and Demonoid is the only tracker worth bothering over, well for classical music anyways there is nothing like it.

And I really cant see mass prosecutions being that successful, or fruitful even to the cause.

I’ve been using BTMon all this time. Can’t say I’ve had any problems finding specific files. I listen to a lot of lo-fi, neoclassical and ambient stuff, so you can imagine how difficult those genres are to track down. With BTMon alone, I’ve been able to find such albums in lossless quality.

“DEMONOID IS AN OPEN TRACKER!!!!!! ”

Not exactly, semi-private is a bit more accurate. Also I have never had a real problem with getting people to help seed when asked, so we have torrents over a year old still in good condition.

And your point is? That because it’s not in the JUDGE’s ruling, it can’t be BREIN’s reason for going after Everlasting in the first place?

Oh wait, maybe BREIN didn’t mention Ladytorrent in court because then they would have to PROVE it basically was the same site and the case probably would have dragged on for months? Maybe that’s why? ;)

…is pure crap. Sorry.

TNO didn’t do the testing but only developed the test and BREIN did al the testing themselves, which wouldn’t count as evidence (it’s clearly inadmissible) in court anyway.

…you gotta be kidding — he’s not using a RAID array?

With all the spam that encrusts Demonoid, you’d think he’d be a little more well-heeled.
R Daneel

Right … what are they using an old desktop? You can’t buy a server without RAID I don’t think, I just don’t buy it all. Even if they were making changes to the site, they’d be posting more frequent updates on the situation. Seems very fishy. If it isn’t fishy, then it is simply ineptness.

I’d be pissed off if they shut down Demonoid.

I don’t care what they do, switch ISPs or do whatever, they better not shut down.

All this fuzz around Demonoid’s shutdown… Of course, the hard drive crash is related to BREIN’s action. If I was one of Demonoid’s administrator, I would crash the disks myself, so that noone would get the proofs and the identities of the members.

This makes no logical sense, if they were destroying the disk in fear of the data being found, why would they be loading the same data thats from backup to replace it with? Either they actually had this crash happen, or its just a cover for them working to cover their asses. (Which is what I’ve come to believe at this point)

I’m so sick of these prickorgs like BREIN. Lets start a foudation to start harassing people on behalf of some industry while making money being the president of the foundation. Let’s start snitching an spreading FUD just because it makes us some money. Let’s start calling all the media so they can get an ‘expert’ in their ‘experts to call’ rolodex so they can call someone because they are ignorant. Let’s make some noise about piracy so the media starts calling me. That’s what BREIN is all about in my opinion. Look at their logo (not the one pictured above) they didn’t even bother to look professional. BREIN is about power and income for their founder. He uses the greed of corporations to make it happen for himself. I could just as wel start a group for walking the streets to snitch on anyone who puts their garbage out minutes before dawn, sell my services to the city and argue this is a very valuable contribution to society.
eh

Canada is the best place for Demonoid… great to have another awesome tracker!.. and yes Canada is perfect with laws its Britain and America that aren’t.. just remember that. pack that shit, hit that shit, and pass that shit. ;)
dee pee

canada indeed is pretty chill..
but who knows for how long? maybe iraq will host servers for much longer… the laws there are pretty elastic, and might remain thus for a while. they’ve got a lot to worry until they start passing internet anti-piracy laws…
dee pee

why not have a server that is not based on any country? sort of a mobile/portable monster? i know i’m speaking sci-fi here. but if it aint based on a certain country, what then? they can’t do anything. In he far futur maybe we’ll see monster sites arise that have their own satelites.. screw earth based offices.. On the other hand, there might be a time in the future where we can all be a part of ‘hosting’ any site site online, sort of collectivelly. There can’t be a minute when people aren’t online. In that case, it would be somewhat like a virtual site, and people can find the trackers off each one’s end as each computer hosts part of the information collectivelly. if data is stored in such a manner, there is no way they can shut down everyone on the internet.. Brein and similar assholes can put their thumb in their a..

I think this is a pretty good idea. We can all act as servers, sort of in the way we seed the torrents. By susbcribing to such a site, you can have a client, and a certain area of your harddisk will be open to act as the server information is needed and to even share your files.. Collectivelly, they got nothing on us. Someone will do it one day.

these people that keep saying that the legislation after demonoid is *bad* and quote things like ‘george bush downloads music’ and think their own country is the greatest, should look at their own countries legislation.. i mean, there’s a reason demonoid was being hosted in that country to begin with not in the US or UK or Canada or even Mexico.. it’s because legislation is worse in every country except where it is today.
HotTunaFish

I have been fearing this for quite some time now, especially since Demonoid’s last collapse. Unfortunately, the saying, “all great things must come to an end” sadly fits the bill here, as the level of anit-piracy organization’s that are out to smash sites such as Demonoid will only increase and get worse. I was but one of many who shared files there, and will have to take a serious look at what I will continue to share there, or anywhere else for that matter, with all the heat that is on them now. It was good while it lasted.
eveningsong

Yes I downloaded a lot of stuff and from what I downloaded I purchase probably 10 times the amount. If an artist is worth it they get my money, most of which I would have never purchased without Demonoid. Keep up the good work.
GJE

Well, the fat lady has sung the last aria, and she sure did her best to prolong it. I personally loved Demonoid. I spent probably 50 percent of my online time there looking for items very hard to fine on other sites. To all the naysayers, Demonoid just rocked. PirateBay was always second fiddle; PirateBay always got Demonoid’s sloppy seconds too. Demonoid was also very user friendly and organized very nicely.

Now, the only remaining superpower torrent site is Pirate Bay, and trust me, no matter how insolent and recalcitrant they want to be to the big media outlets and their hired attack dog lawyers, they will be next to go. I wouldn’t be surprised by this time next year, there will only be a few small time torrent sites left. I like Piarte Bay, but I sure don’t love them like I did Demonoid.

My theory is that this evolution of torrent tracking is coming to an end, and a few smart tech guys are right now devising the next generation of sharing files and media. I wouldn’t lose too much hope my fellow torrent-philes, the mother of invention is necessity. So with a tear, I simply say R.I.P. Demonoid, you shall be remembered.

They actually hacked in and was able to fry the servers and all back ups.
They have been planning this for awhile. They wanted to make sure they totally took it down for good, including all member info.

All I know is that “when” (not if) demonoid comes back online… I’m uploading the f’ing amazing lossless Chemical Brothers show I taped last night in San Francisco!!

Peace and Love – PrimateKing

People, we need to keep the hope alive. We must Never give up and Never Surrender. I Demonoid shall return (because I have things bookmarked). If someone truly has taken down demonoid, then the tracker would have ceased to exist and my torrent would have stopped. KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE AND DEMONOID WILL RETURN. THERE SHALL BE REWARDS FOR THOSE WHO KEEP FAITH.

Where am I gonna get my audio books now I loved Demonoid cause they actually told you what kind of books they were where as others dont do more then state they are audio books and barely even give you a description

boy i miss DEMONOID IWISH IT WAS NO JUST NOW

I think it’s an outright shame it’s down, I downloaded many t.v concerts that I would never have gotten without them, what’s the harm of it, it’s not as if they had any copyright, they were never available anyway. Hope they come back soon. A

As someome who had up’d more than 1.8TB worth of my stuff, I am really glad that there looks like there is some light starting to show at the end of the tunnel. I for one took great pleasure at sharing what I had in my own personal library, which I paid for, as well as giving back what was so freely given to me. Unfortunately, I just had to format my HD and no longer have my torrents, but hopefully if and when the main Boss of all Bosses comes back, things will still be alive and well. I can’t wait for the fun to begin again!!!!
Demonoid.com online

Demonoid.com has come back online or at least for a short time. On the home page it statted that they had to block Canadian users, so they must of went back down again to do this. CRIA was responsable for this. All of the above are fact not rumor or hear say.
prakash

Demonoid is back. Today i.e.1st Oct 2007 the site showed its resilency is appreciated. Welcome…

WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT YOU GUYS ARE ALL IDIOTS….. DEMONOID WILL BE BACK AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING TO TAKE IT DOWN APART FROM SOME HARDWARE ISSUSES.

Demonoid is back as of 11:50 PM October 1, 2007. It’s working just like before. The only difference…no Canadians or hockey hair in site. Everyone, start your drives and widen your bands and head over to Demonoid.

Long Live the King of all Torrent Sites……….

I would like to know how they were threatened to block CDN Traffic.

There are many Sites hosted in Canada and have not surcome to the same as Demonoid has.

I believe the trail from leaseweb followed them to Canada as I know for a fact there is nothing in the law here that could force them to block traffic as We host quite a few Big sites and have never had even 1 report of issues. Yes we get letters asking to shut this site down shut that site down but until the Supreme Court of Canada says its illegal Moxie will never hand over any information and or hardware We will go belly up before we do. Its just sad how some of the ISP’S Here in Canada and USA rather kill a client off then defend their client. I believe there is more going on here then anyone is being lead to believe.

Guys, The onslaught of legal illegal actions by bribed politicians who pass laws in congress without popular vote will continue to prohibit the free exchange of idea’s. If you do not like seeing industries or individuals move against people like Demonoid, simply do not endorse them. (Look up endorse dudes to get what I am saying)
MPAA, RIAA, Metallica, list goes on..

Follow Pirate Bay’s example, or be unnoticed.

I am sorry to see Demonoid go. My favorite trorrent site, and a 10:1 tratio, shoot!

Canda sucks, brign the server to Mexico, even though there may be people trying to shut it dow here the laws has so many flaws that everybody gets away :P jk, but think about it

Demonid is off-line but the tracker Is still working fine. There is however a banner on their opening page that states that they are having legal problems. I hope they persevere!! I have enjoyed many hours searching through their torrents and I have retrieved an intellectual wealth that I would not have otherwise been able to afford. I have also made contact with many wonderful people who have been absolutely eager to help me with a problem are just have a pleasant conversation. People who produce intellectual property deserve to make money but on the same token that intellectual property is the stuff that makes the world go around. Why should it be the exclusive right for the richest and the brightest people? I think that what really is the perversion is the fact that today there is a lot of garbage being produced and put on the market for the sake of the sale. And when the bubble burst the same people who are making millions upon millions of dollars are crying the Blues that they’re being cheated by the relatively small minority of people who download. Check out the statistics.

Well many people use p2p for non copyright materials including myself, I notice that all the major media such and magazines news and newspapers are controlled and propaganda. Even as far as Computer graphics on major networks, passed off as real footage. Major Psi-ops. What’s really happening is a war against freedom of forming a people media, a format where one person can share with millions in a few days or weeks, For example while the pirate bay has 15 thousand dollar software programs available, a torrent about a truth the world elite are trying to hide gets deleted in 15 minutes, like the torrent that was upped about the “truth about aids”, that is is not caused by sex or hiv. Hiv is harmless: the doctors drugs like Azt is what kills you or in Africa its malnutrition and dirty water, not hiv. this torrent was deleted from “the censor bay” in 20 minutes whereas all the copyright material in the world is allowed to remain. Nwo fears p2p as a method of information liberation and sharing, not copyright infringement. Thats just a distraction issue. Some of you all should get off the bandwagon and learn whats really going on in the world. Get a 101 in conspiracy “theory” or you will never see past the social conditioning and propaganda brainwashing. Good luck to all. cheers!!

Unverified internal sources have revealed that Demonoid currently do not have any plans of restoring the site back to its functional state. This may be attributed to a few factors that are preventing this from happening. For example, the owner of the site is currently facing legal persecution by the CRIA and the server information of the torrent tables have been forcefully wiped by law enforcement parties.
