The place where breaking news, BitTorrent and copyright collide

Demonoid Busted As A Gift To The United States Government

The nightmare week for Demonoid has just reached a huge crescendo, with news coming out of Ukraine that following a massive DDoS attack the site has now been busted by local authorities. Those looking for a U.S. connection to the raid won’t be disappointed – a source in the country’s Interior Ministry says that the action was scheduled to coincide with Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky’s trip to the United States.

Last week thousands of Demonoid users feared the worst when their beloved site disappeared from the Internet. Many thought that the site had been busted, but were eventually relieved to hear that it was ‘only’ a massive DDoS attack.

But today the roller-coaster ride plummeted to new depths, with confirmation coming out of Ukraine that the DDoS was just the beginning – the site has been busted by the authorities.

ColoCall is the largest datacenter in Ukraine and a place that has been Demonoid’s home in recent years. But in the middle of last week, in the wake of the DDoS attack, government investigators arrived at ColoCall to shut Demonoid down.

“Investigators have copied all the information from the servers Demonoid and sealed them,” an anonymous ColoCall source confirmed. “Some equipment was not seized, but now it does not work, and we were forced to terminate the agreement with the site.”

As reported on TorrentFreak following our discussions with Demonoid’s admin last week, there were suspicions that the site may have been subjected to some kind of exploit or hack in addition to the DDoS. That version of events is now confirmed by the ColoCall source.

“Shortly after [the DDoS] a hacker break-in occurred, and a few days later came the investigators,” the source added.

But aside from the busting of the site, which is the biggest BitTorrent-related raid in recent memory and one that has taken out the world’s largest torrent site/tracker combo, there is a rather large international sting in the tail.

Despite general opinion that Demonoid did not contravene Ukranian law, especially since it blocked all Ukranian IP addresses to avoid upsetting the locals, the site still attracted the attention of the authorities there. That, according to a source in the country’s government, is all down to the United States getting involved.

A source inside the Interior Ministry has informed Kommersant that the raid on Demonoid was timed to coincide with the very first trip of Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky‘s trip to the United States. On the agenda: copyright infringement.

Ukraine had promised the United States that it would improve its attitude and efforts towards enforcing copyright and no doubt its Western partner will be very pleased indeed that Demonoid’s head has been presented on a platter.

But while Demonoid’s servers are in custody, the site’s admin does not appear to be. The ColoCall source would not say who is behind the site, only that its management is located in Mexico. The devil may yet be back….

TorrentFreak contacted the Demonoid admin for a comment but we have yet to hear back

          Just total corruption. mafiaa dot org at its finest. Kind of like the cops here, they arrest you then make the laws for it later

        Does Anyone Have any real suggestions for ALTERNATIVES ??? ( other than KAT, TPB, etc. etc. )

        • Never Give Up

          It’s going to be hard to find a site as good as Demonoid was; a really great place for finding all the stuff I couldn’t locate anywhere else (software, tutorials, comics, FLAC’s, etc). It also had a comment system that didn’t suck, unlike TPB which constantly deletes my account and all posts every time I sign up to help folks. Sad sad news. RIP Demonoid.

        • Evan

          No serious torrenter uses any public site, including Demonoid. You need to make some friends in the private community. I bet most of the content available on public sites is just trickle down from private trackers anyway

        • BJonesTF

          Nope, most ‘private’ (please use the more accurate term ‘activity logging’ rather than the misleading ‘private’) trackers get their stuff from the exact same place as people who make public torrents, scene dumps.

        • Turnerexcel

          Yes! Though I will miss Demonoid, 25 people from the site have already generated a VPN P2P site using hamachi, we joined each others networks.  

          How it works. 
          for those who want limited members joining their network its free, up to 5 max I believe. 

          1) Without giving allot of detail, I believe smart people here will figure this out. 

          2) I have a subscription to HBOGO, Netflix. 
          3) Another member has a subscription to Starzs, Showtime.
          4) Another member has a subscription to Giganews! Good luck taking that site down! You will effect allot of Broadcasters like CBS,NBC, BBC, ABC and so on! So thats another way of saying , its not happening! 
          5. The interface comes with chat services etc.  I normally get 15 request lookups a week, in exchange, my request gets filled into a folder I create on my server just like them.  Someone asked me True blood Episodes 1-9.  I filled their request in less than 1 hour! directly to their own computer!   

          Now, you don’t have to do it so high tech as we did with 25 members stronge and growing, but you can start your own!  Even those who are not tech savvy could easily follow directions and tied into our network with ease and figured out how to maximize its potential.   And you can do it either for free! or pay $19.99 or less to have a 32 connection service via any vpn service available. I.E  Ultravpn, Teamviewer!, Logmeinhamachi!, Others are as follows: 

          VyprVPN – Personal
          boxpn – High Secure VPN Account
          VPNtunnel – High Speed VPN
          Strong VPN – Euro America Special PPTP $55 a year.

          Free Remote Sites/VPN

          Team viewer, 
          Logmeinhacmachi!  up to 32 peer connections for 19.99 
          Tunngle (Hamachi Like but better) 

          if you need to learn more about this type of thing, you can always go here: http://lifehacker.com/5900969/build-your-own-vpn-to-pimp-out-your-gaming-streaming-remote-access-and-oh-yeah-security

          Once you start, you’d wonder why you have not done it sooner!  I like most of the people connected to our network have a minimum 10TB Movie/Music/Data Drive attached to our service.  One member saw that I like a group back in the 70′s called Mandre Two!  So, he ripped his LP of Mandre Two ILES DAN LE SPACE! and put the whole thing in my music folder! How nice! since I lost that album years ago! I absolutely loved it!  I could tell he has a very high end recording system also! He may be some sort of sound tech! because all the files where in Ogg Vorbis! and sounded Flawless!.

          So, that is just an example. I hope it helps, be happy to help anyone, that is what sharing is all about , Isnt it?

          I do use private sites already and have for a long time. I also use public ones. It’s all good in my book. Sadly the fact remains that Demonoid was a well made site that often had what the others didn’t. It was always the place I went to last, when I couldn’t find something on the public/private sites, and usually had what I was looking for more often than not.

        Iran today said they are disconnecting from the internet and starting up their own internal internet (intranet) just like North Korea. So, that’s why people don’t host in Iran.

        Source: RT.com

        • Blazeflack

           Wow, that’s messed up.

        • Joebucell

           Smart move by them. They know the US is gonna invade on some bs pretense so they are trying to avoid cyberterroism.

        • http://my.opera.com/operaton Hoborg The Great

          no it’s not true. i’m from Iran and i tell you they won’t disconnect the country from internet.

          they’ve just made a secure intranet to host government’s websites and their traffic; also by routing the internal traffic inside Iran’s borders to prevent paying international bw providers for the traffic that it’s not needed to get out of the country.

          as they told, they would never disconnect the internet. that’s just for the security of national traffic…

          BUT the main problem for hosting websites in Iran is that BW is really expensive here…

          there’s only one company providing bw here which is called “Ertebaataat-e-ZirSaakht” (Telecommunication Infrastructure Company) which is a company owned by the government. they buy bw from foreign and international providers and sell it to Datacenters, ISPs, and people.

          the cost of each STM1 (155.52Mbps) link is around 30,000$ in Iran. they can sell it to ISPs, DCs, etc cheaper but they won’t; ‘coz Mollahs think of the internet as an enemy to their gov and religion (as it is actually), so they would never do anything to make it cheap and easy for people to have high speed connections.

        • Watson

           however the update said
          http://boingboing.net/tag/iran/
          Iran’s “Halal Internet” evolves into a mere more-ambitious censorship regime

          Collin Anderson, the researcher who found the document, said this RFI
          shows an unexpected shortcoming of the Iranian government to capitalize
          on its own domestic ability and recent deals with Chinese telecom
          companies such as Huawei and ZTE.

          Huawai said late last year it was pulling out of Iran. ZTE, meanwhile,
          has previously sold millions of dollars of telecom and surveillance
          equipment to the Islamic Republic.

          “I believe this clearly demonstrates that the Iranian government does
          not intend on cutting off access to the external Internet time soon,”
          Anderson told Ars on Tuesday, explaining that the acquisition of a
          censorship system would not be necessary if Iran was trying to create a
          highly restricted whitelist or completely cut itself off from the
          Internet.

      • Ophelia Millais

        Iran? Are you kidding? I’ll support a site that pays Iran for hosting only when I can be confident the money isn’t making its way to every jihadist in the eastern hemisphere.

        • Anyone

          you can never be sure of that, no matter where your servers are
          but if they are really that desperate to rely on the little money filesharing sites make, I don’t think they are a real threat

        • Swdj

           You are a brainwashed idiot.

        • Ophelia Millais

          See my reply to Pro-Ignorance, but in short: I’d rather support a Ukraine-hosted torrent tracker than an Iran-hosted one. Iran hates the West a bit too much. When hosted in the Ukraine, most of Demonoid’s hosting money probably remained in private hands and was far less likely to be directed toward the support of violent religious extremism than would happen if Demonoid were hosted in Iran.

          If you have an opposing point of view, share it. Or is ad hominem all you can muster?

        • Pro-Ignorance

          “Jihadists in the eastern hemisphere”??

          You mean like Switzerland, France, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Greece, Romania, Holland, Russia, China, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand etc etc – implying that “jihadists” are everywhere but in the US, Canada and South America?

          High-five for being close-minded.. the way you did it took some skill!

        • Ophelia Millais

          High-five for totally missing the point! Let’s recap:

          A reason to support hosting torrent trackers in Iran was given: that Iran won’t bend as easily to the will of U.S. corporations and the U.S. government. I countered that I wouldn’t want to support an Iran-hosted torrent tracker if it meant the tracker’s revenues were being redirected into Iran’s well-documented support for violent, hateful, anti-Western, anti-Semitic agendas, which IMHO seems more likely to happen if the tracker is hosted in Iran than in the Ukraine or pretty much anywhere else. I used the phrase “every jihadist in the eastern hemisphere” to represent where money that goes into Iran may end up going.

          You and others here mistakenly inferred that I meant terrorism and the ideologies behind it don’t exist in the West, and that they’re ubiquitous in the East, and that Western governments aren’t guilty of doing bad things. And then you resorted to straw-man and ad-hominem fallacies, accordingly.

          As to the issue you pounced on, well, Muslim extremists who support and engage in acts of violence and terrorism based on anti-American, anti-Western rhetoric and ideology, and who receive funding and logistical support from Iran, do indeed tend to be located in the Eastern hemisphere, do they not? Are there such Iran-backed extremists elsewhere? Sure, but by and large, they’re not in the Americas.

          Maybe I should’ve just said “I’d rather support a Ukraine-hosted torrent tracker than an Iran-hosted one” and left it to the reader to decide why pumping money into the Ukraine might be better than pumping money into Iran. Or maybe I could’ve said “Iran hates the U.S. a little too much.” However, I said what I said, and I stand by it. If you have reasons why Iran-based hosting is a good idea, let’s hear them.

        • me

          I hope you don’t host a site in one of those countries that sponsor jihad in Syria right now, like, say, USA, UK, France, …

        • Ophelia Millais

          Well sure, your hosting service has to pay taxes to their government, so you do support that government and its nefarious international ops a tiny bit, indirectly, when you pay for hosting. But unlike Iran, the USA/UK/France/etc. are not training people to most effectively blow themselves up on crowded buses and market squares; maybe they’re not without a share of the blame for e.g. Syria’s sad situation, but come on, they’re not handing Russian and Chinese RPGs and machine guns to children or telling them Israel is the reason they’re poor and powerless. The free Western countries also already have The Bomb and aren’t running around saying they’re going to wipe Israel and The Great Satan or anyone else off the map. Most of the money you pay for hosting in these countries most likely remains in private hands; the hosters aren’t as likely to be a front for, or otherwise in league with the government. The average ISP owner in these countries is more concerned about their mortgage, their alimony payments, and where they’re going to go on holiday, not how they can use their wealth to help their government and its allies exact retribution on political and religious enemies.

          Iran, on the other hand, has a history of using the private sector and charities to launder money that very directly supports extremism, terrorist actions, and the pursuit of nuclear weapons. If you’re committed to supporting only Iranian companies in your quest to keep the MAFIAA’s hands off your torrent tracker, how confident can you ever really be about where that money goes? Anything going into that country’s coffers is suspect. If I’m supporting an Iranian company, I’m going to subject it to more scrutiny than I would most any other. I see nothing wrong with that point of view.

      • ggggg

         Probably because the US is likely to eventually go to war against Iran and a war zone probably isn’t the best place to host a torrent sharing site.

          Congratulations on not understanding the complex political situation in the middle east

          Sorry, but Iran is a goddamned kooky religious state.  They have Islamic religious nutjobs who are too numerous in circles with government power, just as the United States has Christian religious nutjobs who also have government power, although to a lesser degree and they are forced to check themselves in a relatively freer state.

          Do you know that Iranian women who are covered all over except the eyes cross the Turkish border, go into the women’s room of the border fueling station, and then emerge all made up in a nice tight blouse and skirt, and they beg for someone to marry them, just so they can get out of that hellhole called Iran?

          GFY!

          The world will be at peace when there is no longer any tolerance for or existence of superstitious absolutist belief systems, and that includes all the children of Abraham:  Jews, Christians, and Muslims!  More people have been murdered and more societies victims of genocide in the name of Abraham, Jesus Christ, and Mohammed than by any other cause.

          Nuclear tech means nothing to how well the masses share in the technology or how well developed the state is.

          Pakistan already has the bomb, and no one is confusing India–also part of the nuclear club—as a state as well developed as any in North America or Europe or the Pacific Asian states.

          The Iranians would already have the tech—which they do not yet have!—to generate nuclear power and even have the bomb if they were not religious paranoids with delusions of apocalypse.

      The
      thing the wealthy CEOs of the entertainment industry don’t get is that
      we are much more than just a site. There are hundreds of millions of us
      who use torrents and it has become a way of life for the younger
      generations. We will NEVER go back to paying for their overpriced
      garbage no matter how many heads of the hydra they futilely lop off.

      Demonoid gets shut down, ok, then the Pirate Bay and all the other
      torrent sites will just get bigger, and get all the seeders that
      Demonoid had.

          Here’s the thing…it doesn’t matter if you vote or not because the president or chair head *appoint* (not elect) a leader of the DNC and RNC. That head decides which mayor, senators and congresspeople from the party get funds. Toe the line like a good boy, you get the money to be in the final draw, maybe. Otherwise, you’re cut off and will never have a chance.

          Now, there’s plenty of third and fourth party candidates, but at the risk of letting ‘the other guy win’…no one wants to peel off votes from the (major) party more closely associated with their beliefs. After all, we saw what happened in 2000 with Nader, right?

But come on, to say you hate the US government for this makes it sound like you are some dumb 20 year old who doesn’t have a clue. What do you think Tarantino, Scorsece, Brad Pitt, etc all think of torrents? They probably don’t like it, and they would probably tell the government that someone is stealing their stuff, just as if someone stole DVD’s from wal-mart.

        I love how you’re telling people to “get a clue”, but your entire argument is based on guessing what famous people you have never met, but whose opinions are widely documented on the Internet and quite easily researched, “probably” think.

        In my experience, that is a debate tactic used exclusively by people who have no idea what the hell they’re talking abou, themselves. 

        Oh, in fact, look at that: http://www.contactmusic.com/news-article/tarantino-tells-cannes.-piracy-is-ok 

        Tarantino doesn’t care at all, so you’re already demonstrably incorrect. Your move, clueboy. And before you reply, keep in mind that I already think people like you who talk out your arse are what’s ruining human civilization so… good luck impressing me.

        you are not stealing from the movie stars or the tv starts they already got their money its the companys the flim companys we are taken from, if they didnt make the prices of shit so damn high for cable and movies, and showed tv shows that are in other countries all at the same time then we wouldnt need to torrent those movies or tv shows and to be honesty why do they care they post all the shows on the web for free for us to watch so what the difference if i download them from a site like demonoid or watch them from a website. please now there isnt they just want something to control something to fight about something to bitch about. and no its not like stealing a dvd from walmart your stupid.

        • PelouzeTF

          (1) The “stars” haven’t necessarily had their money at all. Some take a much reduced fee in place of profit share. There are many types of deals for actor/actresses/directors/financiers etc etc when signing to a new film.

          Your blanket statement is false.

          (2) Who says the prices are too high ? The prices are too high (IMO) for a new Ferrari but, it doesn’t mean I should just borrow one whenever I want to.

          What I could do, is wait a little longer and save up for what I want. My life isn;t going to be effected one bit if I don’t get something “right now”.

          (3) Do you really think the media industries exist just to “bitch/whine and try to control something” (as you put it).

          “hey lets set up a business model purely so we can bitch and whine about stuff…..yeah and control the people who watch Men in black 3″………………………that sounds like a reality to you does it? Holy fuck LOLOLOL

          1. so you agree with me that the MAFIAA is screwing them over

          2. you can of course borrow a Ferrari when you need one, there are services that offer that
          and once the technology is advanced enough (hopefully in my lifetime) you can simply copy one

          3. of course it does
          piracy causes no financial harm (except that it reduces the entertainment budget slightly because people need to get a VPN etc.), online piracy is now over a decade old, yet no study has shown that it caused any harm, and the MAFIAA is still posting record profits year after year
          but slowly the artists are slipping away, first from the music industry because the entry barrier is lower (meaning you need less money to produce an album than to produce a movie), but other industries will follow
          so the MAFIAA is trying to close all the websites that allow independent artists to promote themselves, like The Pirate Bay

          That’s not the issue. I’m an American, but it’s only logical that a Ukraine based website should follow Ukrainian law. Demonoid should not have been shut down based on a secret dealing between two countries, or because the US gov thinks it’s law should be the world’s law.

        stealing is defined as taking something without the owners consent
        sharing is defined as giving something to others
        if i buy a dvd …i own it…if i share it …..no one has stolen anything

          So you watch the whole movie, turn around, and claim they don’t deserve anything from you, but you deserve everything they make for free?

          No I won’t call that stealing, I will call that leeching.  If you claim they don’t deserve anything from you, then why should you get something produced by them for free?  It’s like sneaking on a train without paying, sure the train will run with or without you, but you also contribute nothing to deserve the free ride.

          The DVD analogy completely ignores the SCALE of things.  Buying 1 copy to watch by your physical social group (1 purchase every few people) is different from a bootlegger who makes thousands of bootleg DVDs, and no relevance at all to a mass BT site where practically no-one paid.  It’s like comparing a firecracker to a grenade.

        • http://profile.yahoo.com/5CXEXWPXSXEICQUY4KV5WRZ65M Hello

          The train analogy is bunk because the train takes *that* much more juice to move with you on it but sharing a copy of Weird Science takes nothing at all from the movie producers. If they’re even alive now.

           thats always been the argument.. how can they claim duplication copyright after the broadcast it on the air ways where people
          record it on dvrs and alike.. this is how stupid it is.. are they going to invade everyones house and take avery their dvr and vhstapes next. if they dont want it copied then they should broadcast it or allow people to record and share with their friends.. either over the road or a country

           I would never say that we deserve everything they make for free but since we have the ability to obtain it for free we would be fools to go out and spend our limited resources to get it but don’t worry as long as you are willing to spend your loot they will never go broke. Plus after watching a majority of today’s movies I feel like they should owe me money for watching their over special effected but under plotted garbage. Now be a good slave and pay master his tithing.

         Amazing how the U.S. government can suddenly get the balls to break up a torrent site, but they can’t even muster the cojones to arrest the Wall Street crooks who stole millions from American home owners, investors and other people. Then, we’re forced to live under “austerity” measures while they continue to gamble billions of our hard earned dollars, and leaving us, the American taxpayer — to finance their debt.

        I know that I should feel a little sorrier for the so-called copyright fascists, who are just “making a living” but I don’t. They screw artists out of making a living by contracts designed by lawyers to benefit them. Artist make little to nothing, while the behemoth corporation continues to earn cash. They care little about the public commons or common good. They just want to make money.

        Why does the word theft only apply when to the poor everyday joe “pirating” stuff from the rich, and not the other way around. The rich corporations bend the law and their paid, government bitches for their own benefit. The little man has no voice.

        so i have 100$ a month after all things to spend…..i either buy some dvdr blanks and make up a nice collection and save 50$ so i and my friends can go out into the local economy and spend 50$ OR as you’d have it get ten times less and have my money goto a rich guy whom just wants to bank it and show hes richer then everyone else….and thus the economy suffers. FACT is 42 us states are now classified as bankrupt and the federal govt is 16+ trillion in debt ya think a 30 billion a year film and tv industry is gonna help ? versus say putting that cash into local economies and small business which truly aid your economics.

        GO take business administration with a major in information technology before you open your mouth how business and economies work….THEY do not work how hollywood does and when you apply that style of business to all industries well we’d all just be carrying giant wheelbarrows around giving each other cash….

        you could go ahead and remove every newsgroup and every p2p type a network and wait 10 years and not see any rise in your economy cause all the funds go up to the rich and never come back….PROOF

        canada top 100 corporations have 580 billion sitting in banks not being lent out while our national debt is at 590 billion. THEY got all that cash by canada dropping to record lows all the corporate taxes so bad in fact we have not seen a surplus since it began…..NOR WILL WE….

        NOW our govt is talking about a bank bailout again after 108 billion was giving to them secretly and they then went and took it as profits and ceo bonuses after reporting a fake 114 billion loss that never was public….

        WE NEED to revolt versus this style a govt its not helping our planet….

        man on welfare gets 600$ a month , he spends 100% in local economy
        middle income guy spends 80% and saves 20%
        upper class guy spends 50% and saves 50%
        uber rich guy spends 20% and saves 80%

        its kinda like that and shows how the last two classes a humans DONT NEED THAT MUCH….

        Art is a special case.

        Art is *made* to be enjoyed by the masses.

        The MPAA & RIAA helped unlock the digital genie – to further line their already *fat pockets* – and now they are seeking to put said genie back in the bottle.  All while churning out a lower quality of product, I might add.  ALL in the name of profits.

        I would not presume to speak for Brad Pitt or Quentin Tarantino; but, I know this much:

        An Artist WANTS their work to be seen/heard/enjoyed.

        The old business model is dead.  The MPAA & RIAA need to Lead, Follow or Get out of the way!!

        P.S. I have DISCOVERED many new artists by way of torrents – whom would not enjoy any wide-spread media coverage, otherwise.  Upon which time . . . I have made a pointed effort . . . to purchase their albums and/or films.

        Many times, these are INDEPENDENT ARTISTS . . . whom, though the enjoy less fame & money than some of the artists you just named . . . are FREE from the MPAA & RIAA.  Which also infuriates said corporate bullies — to no end.

        P.P.S. The Mona Lisa “belongs” to  . . . The World.

       I dont think the motives of the Ukrainian government was just to suck US dick, they would have sucked any western dick.

      Since the collapse of the Soviet Union Ukraine has been gunning for EU membership and to distance itself from Russia.

      Russia keeps most of the remaining sateelite countries in tow through the leverage gained by dirt cheap oil/gas/energy prices while those that have already joined the EU pay full market prices.

      Russia keeps meddling in Ukrainian politics to keep them where they are as they are a valuable mineral resource for russia.

      The Ukrainians took  copies of the demonoid HDs,

      What should be of most concern to the demonoid admins (even volunteer helpers) is if the ukrainians hand those over to the great satan.

      The real lesson learned here is to never host in the same location as your public IP address. Best to have at least 2 reverse proxies with the config only held in ram (so they lose settings if pulled)  so that if the public address is raided it never points to the main host.

    what pisses me off so much is, the US doesn’t rule the world, has no right to rule the world and hasn’t the sense to rule the world, so why the fuck does the world keep chucking itself at it’s feet? why let itself be ruled by the US? unbelievable!!

      Great questions Anon, and HIGHLY relevant.

      The main answer lies in trade agreements between Countries – or political bribery if you wish.  In short, one Nation says to another “We’ll only trade with you if pass laws that are favourable to our home industries.  If you don’t we got no deal, so we wont buy any of your Nations products for our market at home.”

      That’s a bit simplistic, but basically how it works.  And YES, it’s all VERY corrupt.

      We need openness, true freedom to trade, and no more bullying by the USA (or other powerful economies).  I appeal to Peoples everywhere to move toward a fairer form of exchange between us that doesn’t rely on political or monopolistic power.

      I urge Humanity to grow up and treat each other with respect ffs.  Is that REALLY too much to ask?

        the sad thing is the US is only the 2nd biggest economy in the world, with the biggest market being the neighbour of the Ukraine, so it makes no sense to cosy up to them in this way

          The Schengen Agreement deals exclusively with international border controls.

If we don’t maintain an outrageously unequal distribution of resources (as in the US, where the wealthiest 400 people own as much as the bottom FORTY PERCENT of the country), then everyone will become lazy and no one will have incentive to work! After all, the only thing that has ever motivated anyone ever is self enrichment!!’

          Never mind that there is absolutely no intellectual/factual basis for this argument.

          Never mind that the system is essentially feudalism (sure, it’s morally/logically indefensible, but it now comes with toothpaste and TV!!)

          Never mind mountains of empirical evidence to the contrary (like, say, religion, for example. I’m not a fan, and it’s generally a tool of control/repression – but it certainly motivates a lot of individual people for reasons that have nothing to do with aquiring personal wealth).

          Never mind that it’s grossly unfair, retards the course of human advancement, and requires – REQUIRES – that the vast majority of the human population live in utter squalor and oppressive poverty.

          Never mind all that… Money is the only thing that motivates people!! Y’know…. ‘Cause somebody said so!!

          The serfs continue to defend their baronial masters with a script provided by…their baronial masters (oddly enough).

          With the “50 years” thing it’s hard to know what you’re even talking about.

          I guess your suggestion is that the poverty-level civilians that represented the majority of those killed in the attack were magically responsible for the decisions of the followers of Bushido in the military and the wealthy that profited from the lead-up/prosecution of the war.

          Goodness knows it would have been impossible for a country with total air/naval superiority to blockade an ISLAND (an island whose resources were already strained to the breaking point by years of military misadventure). Right?

          Regardless of what people that know absolutely nothing about the circumstances of the time might think, the bombs were utterly unnecessary from a military standpoint, and entirely untenable from a moral standpoint.

        That’s hardly corrupt… If you sell a product, you’d want it to be sold to a larger group of people, and if you are consumer, you benefit from the competition of Sony, of AMD, et cetera. And in this case, if Ukraine and other countries want to enjoy American movies, then the US government wants to make sure that stealing the movies isn’t going to run rampant there, or else why the fuck would we allow them to show our movies?

        There is no bullying going on… Demonoid stole products from one of the largest markets in the US economy, the entertainment industry, and the US government was trying to help police it (lest the entertainment industry should be the ones responsible for dishing out punishment and law).

          Copying files isn’t stealing, you lying little shit. And no matter how many times you lie that it is, it doesn’t bring it any closer to being the truth. You do not get to redefine the meaning of the word “stealing” to include an act that does not involve any. That is all.

          So you’re against the sharing of files – because it’s “stealing” – but you defend the system of corporate ownership of artists – because it’s not?

          Technology has changed. That change has made possible the utter destruction of what has been, from it’s inception, a system based on the exploitation of the same artists you appear to want to defend. They steal, they censor content, they control what content even reaches the public’s ears… All at the artist’s own expense. But THAT’S the system you defend…. The system of middle men and exploitation.

          Corporations are the thieves. People that claim ownership rights over other people content are the thieves. The current system is the immoral one… The indefensible one.

          Technology has changed. It is now possible for the system of exploitation under which artists have suffered for years to be entirely destroyed, and a new paradigm to emerge.

          Don’t defend the TRUE thieves. Don’t defend profiteering. Don’t defend the specious, self-serving sophistry of the rich.

          Support people.

          Support artists.

           Funny thing is… Alot of them dont think its stealing, ever heard the term ” any publicity is good publicity” ? Alot of artists actually end up making it big because of ripped music/content,  some actually upload themselves and use it to promote themselves so that their tour’s sell out! , the fact is, its not stealing, its copying, just like going to a library and scanning a book in a photocopier, and, it ends up being just another median for artists to use as advertising, the fact of the matter is, the internet is global and artists are localized so why not capabilities on a global marketing system that can give you next to immediate feedback? they end up spending less on production materials ( cd’s posters and crap ) when the internet can be used for next to free! and you can have a global audience in a matter of days! the only reason why its being made “illegal” is because big corporations and record labels are being threatened because their methods are out dated and costly, and push the govt to keep the things the way they are to prevent them losing money to a market that they cannot compete with, why lose money promoting yourself through an agency, when you can do the same thing with better results for far cheaper? and also bring in more money straight to the artist?

        A Nuclear strike would only kill millions of innocent people it wouldn’t stop the US Government from still running the show. As the nukes fell and killed innocent men women and children, the fat bureaucrats will be sitting in a posh cozy office under some mountain planning a world take over in response to the attack. The fact that anyone thinks a nuclear attack is a good thing is truly disturbing. The Internet is so full of mindless morons, did you ever stop to think what a nuclear attack is or what the end result of such an atrocity would be, if such an outrage does happen I hope your country does it so that when the US retaliates with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world you will learn the truth behind your words, as all you know and love is vaporised in an instant you fucking idiots.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the ‘leaders’ who are well connected and/or rich enough will be hiding in fallout shelters.

      ya i agree.

      sadly the USA had a glorious reputation many years ago.
      they went from liberators and freedom fighters
      to the World Police crap we have to tolerate now.

      I can only imagine one outcome. Eventualy there will be more terrorist activity and sadly people that had nothing to do with th epoor decisions will pay the price.. not the pos Corporate puppets ruling things.

      I don’t think my Canada is far behind either we are patsies to the USA.
      People would rather pin a Canadian flag on themselves while traveling the world than an American one. But that will change too i bet.

         ” Eventually there will be more terrorist activity”

        No, because there is no point blowing up people one don’t even know.
        The strategy: “I kill your neighbor unless you do what I want”
        make no sense.

        The only blind terrorist activity such as 911 are false flag operations organized by governments. During the past decade or so The US, British and the Israelis governments have been  the worst offenders.

        El Qada is actually a CIA constructs initially formed against the Soviet Union but subsequently used to justify the war in Iraq to the benefit of the banks, the oil  and the defense industry.

        What should happen next should be a series of strikes at the head of corporations since they really control the game the entertainment industry being no exception.

  • Minion of the Legion

    So long as there is a demand for them, torrent sites will always exist in one form or another. Demonoid may be back, it may not be, we will see what the admin’s response to this is. Hopefully we get back our devil.

    US really needs to stop this bullshit. You arent stopping it by shutting one site down at a time, you are just annoying everyone. 

    • FakeElections

       Exactly, Whenever a site gets shut down people immediately download more out of spite.. The Pirate bay gets blocked and now there’s over 140 alternative addresses (most likely more i’m just going what piratereverse.info says)

      • Wallace

        I know, but Demonoid had playlists, mixes, out-of-print music … it was a great archive and it promoted obscure artists in a way mainstream sites don’t.

        Time to start looking at private ttrackers or usenet …

        • Guest

           Demonoid had so much. But what it lacked is what TPB had – people standing behind it strong. Demonoid went down so often and it took ages to get it back up.

        • yuchmich

           Actually the logic holds true for everything we do. The more the government bars something the more populations push back. You can see the evidence in harsher prison sentences resulting in higher repeat offenses and higher rates in general. Automobile speeds, drugs, in particular marijuana, and copyright infringement/intellectual property theft (piracy) are all fine examples of this very common phenomena.

        • Darkwiz666

          Prohibition : “Lets stop something by removing it and criminalizing it! THAT should work!”
          Result : They got SUPER fucked up.

          Obviously they think that shutting down file lockers and torrent sites are going to end/fix things…

          …until the day they get every damn country on the planet to agree to their ‘anti-piracy’ bullspit taking out 1 site is going to be the equivalent of taking down 1 major bootlegger during prohibition…all it’s going to do is create MORE people who want to fill in the void…not to mention they’ll want to do it in a much smarter way having learned from the mistakes of the failures.

          Therefore, they are wasting time and tax dollars doing this crap…not to mention that it’s PRETTY DAMN CLEAR they aren’t actually listening to NORMAL people and only to those who stuff their wallets…because the common man has at least 5 bootleg DVD in his house and would more then likely return to the sneakernet if the ability to download suddenly was cut from their options list…

    3) take down the most popular one.

         If that is a concern for you (“feeling safe”), then you should be using a VPN. I used to only use it for when I downloaded movies, but with the upcoming changes ISP’s are making in the US and the fact that premium cable channels are starting to actively keep track of their shows and send out notices to people on several major ISPs, I’ve started using one for all my torrenting. Also makes it so your ISP can’t throttle you since all they see are encrypted VPN data packets. Nothing there to see!

And no, most Americans don’t know Russia from Ukraine from New Zealand because they’ve never been out of Bumfuck County Alabama where they were born. I wish we had let those fuckers secede. Then they’d have their own crappy third-world country to run, and we could be the United States of Canada.

        • Dingus

           Yeah actually I am originally from South Africa, but now I live in the US. But I’m typing this from Greece, so whatever. The point is Yanks is a modern collective pronoun for US americans, that is not historically accurate, but is used simmilarly to Brits, which refers to people of the UK, not accurate but used nontheless. It is not by itself derogatory, but in my statement above I did intend it to be derogatory. Obviously you were offended, which is most gratifying… thanks for that.

  • Musical

    Will the authorities go after the ‘noid’s users?  Or just the the website itself?

    • Anonymouse

       They most likely can’t go after the users. Just having an account there, even if your have a high upload ratio, isn’t proof of illegal downloads.

      Unless Demonoid kept logs on the server of your activity on the trackers (which I can’t see it doing since it would require 100′s of TB’s of storage, possibly more) there is nothing they can prove. Demonoid also served up legal torrents as well, including Linux distros, opensource software/music/movies, as well as many MANY other things (such as HD Wallpaper packs, etc). Any kind of legal action taken against users without proof of WHAT they downloaded will get axed before it even makes it to court.

      Also, with the recent rulings in the US that an IP Address no longer is a legal representation of a person, they don’t have a leg to stand on if they were to go after users.

      • 2TelltheTruth

        “Unless Demonoid kept logs on the server of your activity on the trackers
        (which I can’t see it doing since it would require 100′s of TB’s of
        storage”

        If they weren’t keeping server logs of our activity, how was Demonoid able to keep track of our ratio? This is a question, not a challenge. My stats were incredibly accurate.

        • Anonymouse

          You can update a single value without having to keep logs. I would guess it only tracked the upload/download ratio, and when you removed the torrent it would update the ratio and discard the data it used to update it, as it is then unnecessary.

          As I said, they had millions of active users everyday. Keeping logs of all that tracker activity for even 30 days at a time would require a huge amount of storage. I highly doubt any admin of a torrent site would horde that data. There would be no reason to.

          Also, Demonoid’s ratios were usually totally out of wack. Maybe your were accurate, but mine never was. Especially when it came to the upload side. People with a Dynamic IP (see: almost everyone) will have issues if they start a torrent, disconnect from the net, and then reconnect with a new IP. Demonoid uses your IP appended to your account to track stats. If that IP changes mid-download, you won’t get the stats added to your ratio. Same goes for if your torrent client closes unexpectedly. For stats to get updated, an “Event=stopped” has to occur. If that doesn’t happen, stats aren’t updated.

      • 2TelltheTruth

        Not sure why, but there’s no reply button under your response to me. So I’m responding here.

        Thanks for the info. I was worried because my ISP rarely changes my IP. Even when it did, my ratio remained spot on for several years.

        What I wouldn’t give to be able to change my IP. I read it’s possible, but never understood what I read, lol.

    Is it safe to assume the DDos was state funded?  IMO the attack came from either the Ukraine or USA in an effort to destroy the site.  This way, once they raided the data center it would be much harder for the site to be brought back to life.  

    I think a lesson was learned from the attempted take down of TPB so extra steps were taken to make relaunching more difficult. 

    I hope they can recover.  The only sites I use was Demonoid and one other private site. 

  • VictorianFlowerChild

    I’m sad as hell about Demonoid, but it’s the least of our worries. I am ashamed to be a US citizen. Just please understand… Only half of the people in this country are evil motherfuckers. Or if they aren’t evil, they have fallen under the spell of the religious nuts who have somehow convinced them that opposing gay marriage puts you on some kind of moral high ground, making it okay to give tax cuts to rich people and vote against your own self-interest. The other half–maybe more–of our citizenry is made up of people like me–the reality-based community. But the bad guys are winning. Which means the whole planet is losing. My apologies to the rest of the world…

    …and a note to the people in my country who haven’t completely lost their way: Please vote. If everyone in the U.S. who was eligible to vote took advantage of that hard-won right, the good guys (progressives, freethinkers, liberals…) would win every time. But in the end, you sit on your ample ass in your clothes from WalMart (never mind the high cost of the low, low prices!) eating Chick-Fil-A (because homophobia never tasted so good!) and yelling at your big TV. And you get the lousy electorate you deserve. Just sayin’…

       My question to you is: Are you a Christian??

      • http://fujibayashi.jp/ Gasai Yuno

        What does that weird religion have to do with this?

        • ChasX

           Well if your a Christian and you believe in Jesus and God, then you should believe in God’s word. That means you believe in the Bible. What astounding me about this posters rant was this comment, ” eating Chick-Fil-A (because homophobia never tasted so good!)”. Now this poster supposedly is on a rant about being a proud American, as I am too. But yet they blasted Chick-Fil-A because the President stated his religous beliefs about gay marriages. Both his right to practice his religion and his right to express his belief are both protected by the Constitution. So this poster thinks Dan Cathy should be sanctioned by his opinion. In other words, supress his First Amendment’s rights. Now to me that is un-American.

          Now to say your a Christian and believe homosexuality is not a sin, then that makes you a hypocrite and against God’s word. So don’t call yourself a Christian them.

          I have listened to the interview that Dan Cathy did and I only heard a man stating his opinion and beliefs like a true American. Wheather we like them or not. Never did I hear the word “hate” at all. Jesus teaches you to not hate, and that includes sinners.

        No they’re not.  Everything Obama tries to do to fulfill his promises is blocked by the corporate whores (republicans) in Congress.  Don’t blame Obama, blame the greedy shitbag republicans who are owned by the big corporations.

        • http://twitter.com/YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood

          the moment you believe that is the moment you are seriously buying into the propaganda machine. obama and dems take just as much lobbying money from big corporations as the GOP. you only listen to what Sumner Redstone’s media tells you. 

        • IamAghost (13lueFox)

          Er… to be fair, the GOP is not the only party who is owned by corporations. In the same exact way, the Democratic party is also owned by corporations, although these corporations generally do not gain nearly as much profit per fiscal year.

          But it is true — Obama has tried quite a few times to effect change and because of that rascally system of checks and balances we have, many of his efforts have been blocked. But of course this is simply the American people’s fault because, as a previous poster wisely stated, we hardly vote, and on top of that, the only election that is emphatically focused upon is the Presidential election. In order for people to truly effect change, there has to be a movement across all levels of government, including small local and state governments. This is the only thing that will truly bring about a new era.

        “The progressives, freethinkers, liberals, etc are currently in power.”

        Then how come those in power aren’t producing any progress, free thought, or liberalism?

        Psst.. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Sometimes politicians will say they’re one thing when actually they’re another! And by sometimes I mean all of the time. Pay attention to actions, not words, and you’ll quickly realize that there is no distinction between the “liberal” and “conservative” douche canoes in power.

        You don’t understand.

        Obama is not a liberal, He is the puppet of the corporations, just like Bush and Rodney who are not republican, just like 80% of congress and most of the supreme judges.

        Republicans and democrats need to unit and dismiss their currents governments then elect a new government without any incumbent.

        The first order of business of this new government will be  to amend the constitution making corporate lobbying illegal.

        Once our Republic is safe we can resume our healthy disagreement. But both parties should take over 3 fundamental tasks.

        -The republicans task will be to prevent the government from geting too big.

        -The democrats task will be to prevent big corporations from overpowering the government.
         
        -Both parties will have the common task to defend the constitution and to make sure that the people stay in control.

        • Fat_Crazy_Jesus_Killer

           You’re on the right track, but it does not go far enough.  Our (U.S.) System of Government needs *sweeping changes*.  I MIGHT even go so far as dissolving The Congress/Senate & Presidency . . . in favor of a Parliamentary gov’t.

          Rome had Democracy, but only the (male) ELITES had a voice.  We are now mired in this same idiocy.

          Healthcare is a human RIGHT.  Our government will provide for it as such.

          Voting should be mandatory – w/ ample chance for mail-in & absentee ballots.  The fine incurred by those whom did not vote, would not need be very exorbitant, either.

          People will *gladly* do their civic duty (voting) . . . in order to avoid a $25 or $45 fine.  The whole country would get that whole week OFF, too.  It would be a time of celebration.  A la Mardi Gras.  A true celebration of freedom & our humanity.

          Like I say, though, you’re on the right track.

       ” the good guys (progressives, freethinkers, liberals…)”

      In case you haven’t noticed, they have been in power and have been the ones trying to take away rights, control the internet, and make the world obey US laws… Now I’m not saying that the other side is any better – but basically, both sides are in it for themselves and the man with the gold is making the rules…

      I will be voting against everyone in power – just like I’ve always done. The BEST thing to hope for is grid-lock, then nothing gets done and thankfully, rights tend to be left alone as they fight and argue… Whenever one side gets in power – watch out…

        The fact is as I posted moments ago, people are disillusioned into believing there is a difference between the Democrats and Republicans. It’s not even just in the United States either – throughout the entire world, the authoritarians have marginalized actual libertarians and through bribes, subsidies, and the sort have managed to feed people “comfort” in removing their liberties.

        I once thought as you do.

        Sadly, however, you are very mistaken, sir.   President Obama has made 130 Executive Orders.  Circumventing the sovereign power of our Congress . . . much the same way as Bush, Jr. did — when he sent our Military in Iraq (under false pretenses).

        The Democrats & Republicans are BOTH in The Banks’ back pocket.  Obama signed The Nat’l Defense Authorization Act (#NDAA) on New Year’s Eve.  Which would give him the power to arrest, bring to trial and put to death any American Citizen . . . anywhere on Earth . . . without even charging them w/ a crime.

        Lucky a Judge blocked this treason from entering law . . . for now, at least.

        Rest assured, our rights ARE *eroding*.   The best we can do is Vote for a Third Party candidate.  Well . . . no . . . that’s the LEAST we can do.   Doing ‘our best’ . . . means educating all those around us.

        Romney could BURN Obama, if he brought up #NDAA.  And, yet, he does not breath a word of that betrayal upon we, the American People.  They are BOTH traitors.   Maniacs.  Criminals.  And *betrayers*.

        WE ALL must do something to stop them.  Before Dictatorship takes further root . . . and The War Machine spills more and more innocent blood.

      You’re just as much the problem yourself, you continue to divide and live by the illusion of a two-party system. You even think that your own group is any better without any realistic understanding of politics.

      The fact is both Democrats whether they claim to be “progressive” or “liberal” and Republicans whether they claim to be “conservative” are part of the problem. Both sides just want power for themselves and are equally owned by the “wealthy elite” that yet advocate the very same ideological system you advocate.

      I’d say the socialist-libertarian George Orwell knew what he was talking about when he wrote in his book 1984 about how the single-best way for a concentration of wealth was through a centralized system.

      • JessAnne Nuther-Gearl

         Even if they “vote”, their votes don’t even matter because the computerized voting systems steal votes/change votes to favor those who will do the bidding for the 1 percenters. It happened during Bush Co.’s election and continues to happen. And even if the elections go the way of the people, they find a way to get the goods on a candidate, or pay them off so they’ll do their bidding.

        Hitler was not right-wing. His party was the National Socialists from which the shortened “nazi” comes.

        Like another socialist, he gained power by making lots of speeches about “hope” and “change” and then made it about obliterating anyone who did not agree with the official version of thinking.

    “Despite general opinion that Demonoid did not contravene Ukranian law, especially since it blocked all Ukranian IP addresses to avoid upsetting the locals, the site still attracted the attention of the authorities there. That, according to a source in the country’s government, is all down to the United States getting involved.”

    It’s obvious that you can’t be allowed to commit crimes over internet from another country in the way that Demonoid did, in the same way as the Pirate Bay does. This shows that a huge focus must be put on ensuring a minimum level of laws in all countries connected to the internet, in the same way as have been done for other human rights, trade etc. Legislation must catch up with new technology including the Internet.

    Before the Internet, having different laws in countries worked fine but since everything now is connected, not having a common legislation is a huge problem that must be addressed expeditiously, too much harm has already been done.

        A person running a piracy site in country A can affect right holders in every single country in the world. Even if the site blocks use from within country A to avoid breaking any laws in country A, it’s obvious that we can’t have a “system” that allows a person to do that.

          of course it has an effect on Saudi Arabia, it provokes God’s Wrath

    When you run such a website, you make sure to keep information secrets, backups, secure domain names (it’s a .me) etc etc.
    Like The pirate bay before, such website cannot be stopped, unless the admin dosent want to stop it.

    • danielravennest

       There are about 1000 alternatives.  Part of future security is not being a “target rich environment”, a single massive site indexing millions of torrents.  Spread out to many sites, and let Google do the indexing for you.  Post magnet links to Twitter and don’t even need a website that can be shut down.  Carry the index to magnet links on a thumb drive.

          I agree with Nejtillpirater on this. TPB ignores DMCA takedowns so it’s basicly refusing to comply with USA law which provoks the government to take action.

          Sure, TPB doesn’t have to respect USA law – however the internet is GLOBAL. I think takedowns should work like this; depending on the country which makes the request – block it from just that country. (Like twitter does with it’s tweets).

          TPB was a non USA company that did NOT reside on USA soil and therefore it did NOT have to comply with USA law because it did not come under USA jurisdiction.

          If TPB broke laws that it resided in then it is for that country to deal with but NOT the USA being as it did NOT reside on US soil.

        • Water is cool

          Guest and Anyone, didn’t you read my entire comment? I said “Sure, TPB doesn’t have to respect USA law”. I know TPB doesn’t have to comply. However, as I said, the internet is global. If it was the intranet which is an internal country version of the internet then it’s perfectly legal and fine for TPB to be doing this but it’s not an intranet, it’s the internet… global. So if it doesn’t comply to a certain countries law then you can’t blame that country for trying to shut it down.

          If TPB censored torrents if the USA demanded them to (but only censored them in the USA) then it’s respecting international laws … as I said, it’s a global website on the internet.

    Many of you kids really are naive. Copyright holders do have a right to protect their creations and decide if they want to “give it away free”. When people copy their work and place it up on a server for everyone to download, then this choice is removed. People here like talking about an “open” and “free” Internet, but what about the person who had the decision to give their work away for free forced upon them? Why is it that copyright holders have to lose their rights so that you can have what you feel is yours?

    I don’t agree with the US Government being granted the ability to censor the Internet: let’s face it, Congress is a broken and corrupt institution. But I don’t agree with this self centered mentality that prompts many of you to believe that you should be able to download everything for free either. And it is this continued naivety that will provide fuel for the powers that be in Washington to further their grabs at power.

    • Fredrika

      > “Why is it that copyright holders have to lose their rights so that you can have what you feel is yours?”

      Feel? People own the property which the copyright monopoly intrudes into. Do you find it strange that people feel that they have a right to their own property?

      The copyright monopoly should stop intruding into peoples property because no one can prove that society has any need for regulation of non-profit use in the copyright monopoly. Do you not understand how legislation works, that only things that can actually be proven harmful to society should be illegal in the first place.

      • SFL_Citizen

        > Do you find it strange that people feel that they have a right to their own property?

        I’d ask you the same question. If I use my computer to express myself in the form of a song, video, or with code is that not my “property”? If so, then do I not have the right to decide if I want to give it away for free? When my “creation” gets put on a server, that uploader is impeding upon my rights as the owner of my own creation. In the event that I do not want my work available for free, what choice do I have?

        I think you are looking at “copyright holders” as nothing but greedy large corporations. And maybe that is in part true, but there is a very real human side to this. Many people are having their livelihood diminished by having to compete with “free” against their will. I don’t think organization like the RIAA or MPAA should use this as justifications for their abusive behaviors, but then, you should at the very least recognize the damages caused by your actions.

        • Fredrika

          > “If I use my computer to express myself in the form of a song, video, or with code is that not my “property”?”

          The computer is your property, The song, video etc is not. An intellectual work does not constitute property. Do you not understand the concept of property? Or are you confusing the intellectual work with intellectual property, which doesn’t refer to the song itself, but the copyright monopoly, which is something different than the song.

          > “If so, then do I not have the right to decide if I want to give it away for free?”

          You have the right to decide if you want to give away your computer.

          > “When my “creation” gets put on a server, that uploader is impeding upon my rights as the owner of my own creation.”

          He’s disregarding a legislative monopoly’s intrusion into his property rights.

          > “In the event that I do not want my work available for free, what choice do I have?”

          Your work has always been free. Since an intellectual work doesn’t constitute neither property, a goods or service, it can’t be sold, and therefore it can’t be given a price.

          > “Many people are having their livelihood diminished by having to compete with “free” against their will.”

          You claiming this does not make it a fact. In reality where most people live the revenues in the content industry are higher now than ever before in perfectly working symbiosis with filesharing, and it’s fully possible to make money regardless of filesharing. Those who don’t are weak failed entrepreneurs that can’t handle themselves on the free market, and according to the free market rules they should have their livelihoods diminished. That’s how thee free market works for all self-chosen entrepreneurs.

          Or do you have a problem with how the free market and self-chosen entrepreneurship works? Are you advocating communism or a planned economy, where self-chosen entrepreneurs that don’t sell should get money anyway?

          > “I don’t think organization like the RIAA or MPAA should use this as justifications for their abusive behaviors, but then, you should at the very least recognize the damages caused by your actions.”

          My actions? In reality, where most people live, after 15 years of non-profit filesharing and 40 years of home copying, no one has been able to come up with any scientific evidence that supports the thesis that any damages exists from neither home copying or filesharing in the first place. So anyone’s personal and rather ignorant belief that any damages exist are rather irrelevant.

          > The computer is your property, The song, video etc is not. An
          intellectual work > does not constitute property. Do you not understand
          the concept of property?

          You have a seriously flawed definition of intellectual property. Your ideology suggests that creative or talented people do not deserve to have a monetary value on their works. The very definition of “intellectual property” is as such:

          “It is the ownership of dream, an idea, an
          improvement, an emotion that we can touch, see, hear, and feel. It is an
          asset just like your home, your car, or your bank account.” -United States Patent and Trademark Office

          This definition invalidates your entire argument, so what we are left with is simply your opinion. And because your opinion is in disagreement with the law, this doesn’t justify you imposing your beliefs on others. By doing so, you are engaging in a philosophical dictatorship the sort of which you go on to decry later in your very own post.

          In the end, people who benefit or enjoy the work of others should respect the wishes of the person (notice I did not say company) who so benefited them. This is good karma and good for society as a whole. By not doing so, you allow for the kind of overly litigious actions corporations are so apt to engage in.

        • Fredrika

          “Your ideology suggests that creative or talented people do not deserve to have a monetary value on their works.”

          No. How can you interpret something i have written so bizarrely? I have not discussed what anyone deserves. I simply pointed out the fact that the song, which exist regardless of an eventual copyright law, is not the same thing as a piece of property, as in ineffectual property, which his something that only exists if the copyright law says it does.

          > “This definition invalidates your entire argument..”

          Yes, but that romanticized definition is not factual. Look up intellectual property in an actual dictionary, or try to think logically.

          > “so what we are left with is simply your opinion.”

          What we have here is facts versus a romanticized opinion of some US whatnot organisation, which doesn’t constitute neither the law nor a dictionary.

          > “And because your opinion is in disagreement with the law..”

          It does not? The law most certainly does not say that a song is property.

          > “In the end, people who benefit or enjoy the work of others should respect the wishes of the person (notice I did not say company) who so benefited them.”

          That’s your opinion.

        • Anyone

          piracy doesn’t cause any losses or “lost sales” as such
          all it does is redirect money from crappy product to better product

          so for example before filesharing you saw this trailer of a movie which was really well done, when you paid to see the movie you were disappointed because it was shit and only the trailer was good
          now with filesharing you can check out the movie before you hand over the cash, if it is worth buying you’ll still buy it or support the creator in some other way, if it was shit you aren’t annoyed at wasting that money

          ever since Napster the entertainment industry is booming, the MPAA posts record year after record year, the RIAA doesn’t do so well, but that’s because the indy labels are getting a bigger share of the pie, overall the music industry is still growing

          so when you look at the facts, piracy does not harm artists that are actually good
          the MAFIAA only wants to close down all sites that can be used to bypass them as gatekeepers for new artists

          Correct. As clearly specified under C) the copyright is considered property, but the song is not the same thing as copyright. Do you not understand the difference between the song and copyright?

          The song exist regardless of what the copyright law says, the property, as in copyright or more correctly described copyright monopoly only exists if the copyright law says it does. Do you not understand the concept of legislative monopolies or intangible property?

          Intellectual work, creative work, invention, call it whatever you want, it obviously refers to the song, weren’t you able to understand that simply by reading the context? The relevant point is the the song isn’t property.

      if the rights of the people and the rights of the copyright holder can’t coexist, guess which rights have to go? right now the MAFIAA has bribed the politicians to see things their way, but oppressing the people forever doesn’t work, so sooner or later it will change

    Same thing happened to suprnova in 2004, the only difference was the country, slovenia then, ukraine now…

    • Violated0

      That is not true when Suprnova decided to close themselves after they received cease & desist threats in fear of following legal action. I was there on that day they closed and I was rather upset that such a beautiful site was lost.

      The BT site market went through quite some turmoil the following year with many sites up and down but naturally TPB soon took their place in history and laughed at such threats.

        Same here. The admin even kept open a forum for a while so users could vent, ask questions, connect with people they’d befriended, etc. He even deleted the user database so it couldn’t be requested. A true GGG.

      I don’t understand your position, your claims were mainly backed up with “I’m pissed off”.  You’re saying that you don’t buy/you torrent movies because you’re pissed off at the USA?  What about those who made the movies (or games/music/whatever)?  You’re pissed at them too, or no?  Wasn’t sure if you were referring to torrenting or just abstaining from purchase. And most importantly, why?  When talking about this stuff, It’s probably best if we ask ourselves why we believe things and if we have logical reasons to do so.  

      I’m open to hearing what you mean, that goes for anyone else here too, though it’ll probably get buried under replies.  Generally, my stances change when faced with claims that meet their burden of proof (many others would most likely agree).  I’ve been reading many claims here, but only a few have bothered providing rationale.  It’s a comment section related to a massive website, of course, but if people wish to voice an opinion like it’s worth paying any attention to, it’d be within their best interests to include a reason or two along with that opinion.  

      Or we, the loud minority, can just keep throwing sand at each other and fapping to it, but if that’s the case, I’ve had my fill of train-wreck observation for the day.  (Sandy splooge coated trains)

  • EagerDemonoider

    This sucks every which way. This has already been said, so let’s focus on something else, specifically what we seeders and leechers can do.

    Very often people upload exclusively stuff on trackers they like to show their fealty and enthusiasm. I saw this on Demonoid all the time. While I appreciate the spirit,
    this now means that gigabytes of rare stuff are potentially lost. I saw the same thing happening with some XXX trackers like Empornium and Cheggit. People would spend days and weeks seeding enormous “tracker exclusive” torrents, like 150 gbs siterips, and now these are nowhere to be found because the trackers died.

    There’s a lesson to be learned, here: don’t expect torrent sites to last forever, and don’t put all your eggs (torrents) in the same basket (tracker). Torrents die, torrent trackers die. If you want your files to stay online, redundancy is your friend. Upload your stuff to multiple sites. Use eMule. Gnutella. Sneakernet. Whatever.

    Download stuff even if you don’t plan to read/watch/listen to it anytime soon. Stash it. The leechers of today could be the seeders of tomorrow. I should know – I uploaded a lot of stuff to Demonoid, then I lost part of it when one of my disks crashed (another lesson learned) and I was able to recover it thanks to my former leechers, now seeders. 

    Demonoid will probably be back. Hopefully the community will follow suit, perhaps a bit wiser.

    Oh, and fuck those lick-spittle governments.

    • 1of9000

       I like the way you think. Years ago, I upped something quite rare to Demonoid, and also to other trackers. Same deal as you, drive crash, etc. In the end, the seeding had stopped on all the other trackers… except D. What a great day that was, seeing all those seeders still sharing it a couple years later.

    It’s really less about paying the actors, actresses, directors, and artists more than paying a large corporation which has been granted corporate personhood by the Supreme Court prior to the New Deal programs enacted by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The problem is that he regulated commerce and some aspects of business, but he, nor Congress, nor the Supreme Court removed or censored the personhood rights of large corporations which can donate vast sums of money to elect politicians who support their stances on issues. The system in America has been broken a very long time, and it has merely taken this long for corporations to reach a size where they could run a “secret” Plutocracy. They merely distract everyone by providing misleading, poor, and just generally bad information on the news stations they own or sponsor. Don’t be angry at the audience (the misinformed/misguided electorate), growl at the puppets even if it is somewhat a waste of time if you don’t live in their districts where the votes are cast, but be furious though at those holding the strings (corporations).

Visiting a president costs 1 political change in the US advantage. The only states free from this are those that take full control themselves. China may firewall to oppress but the US only dislikes this because they have no control of a country in this situation. We need to take control. We need to route them out and replace them. Technology moves so fast. It is time to outpace building something unenforceable something that cannot be controlled monitored by one nation. This system is compromised.

      I appreciate pirates that have the decency to admit what they’re doing instead of repeating the same bad excuses like most of the pirates do.
      Do something bad but admit it and take full responsibility for it!

      • Anyone

        sharing is not bad
        you still haven’t shown us any proof that piracy is actually harming anyone

        so why should pirates admit to anything?

      • Guest

        “Do something bad but admit it and take full responsibility for it!”

        Let’s see. Pirates buy more than “good” people do and the creative industries are booming. Sorry, but all evidence indicates that we aren’t doing something bad. 

        Now on the otherhand, you being a dishonest, trolling sack of MAFIAA shit suggests that you’re kind of a badguy.

          I’m not convinced that pirates actually buy more but even if they do, this has no relevance whatsoever.

          What if shoplifters buy more than others, would this justify shoplifting?

       Actually, no, he was a fascist, which is to the extreme right, he only CALLED his party socialist. He was lying. It is you my friend who are ill informed about history and politics.

      • http://www.facebook.com/billyup Jesse Jones

        Fascism and socialism can work together. Facism is a combining of government and corporate powers and socialism is a system of social organization  that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. Which means the government would have to have control of all means of production in order to give the power to the corporations. Get your head out of your ass.

        • Guest

          No, they can’t. They’re at opposite ends of the spectrum. Under facism, the government is in absolute control. Under a socialist system, the people are in control. 

          If something claims to be socialism but the government is in control, that’s called bullshit.

  • Paul

    The thing that upsets me the most about this is that Demonoid had an active community of VHS to Digital rippers.  That’s what I used Demonoid for.  For out of print old VHS copies of movies that never have and never will make it to DVD or BR. Also, home recording of made-for-tv movies that don’t exist on a for-purchase format anywhere else.  Every week I would find a handful of these VHS-to-Digital rips being posted.  You can’t find this anywhere else.

    • 1of9000

      Absolutely. For me, Demonoid was the place to go for the rare and obscure. You don’t need a special site for the latest DVDs & audio. Out of print, archived, not popular enough to be found elsewhere? It was on The Big D.

    • Stander

  • redacted

     So you’re against the sharing of files – because it’s “stealing” – but you defend the system of corporate ownership of artists – because it’s not?

    Technology has changed. That change has made possible the utter destruction of what has been, from it’s inception, a system based on the exploitation of the same artists you appear to want to defend. They steal, they censor content, they control what content even reaches the public’s ears… All at the artist’s own expense. But THAT’S the system you defend…. The system of middle men and exploitation.

    Corporations are the thieves. People that claim ownership rights over other people content are the thieves. The current system is the immoral one… The indefensible one.

    Technology has changed. It is now possible for the system of exploitation under which artists have suffered for years to be entirely destroyed, and a new paradigm to emerge.

    Don’t defend the TRUE thieves. Don’t defend profiteering. Don’t defend the specious, self-serving sophistry of the rich.

    Support people.

    Support artists.

    Support the free exchange of information.

      Shortly after this hacker break-in occurred, and even a few days later, came the investigators. Investigators copied all the information from Demonoid’s servers, and sealed them. Some equipment was not seized, but now that [the connection] does not work, we were forced to terminate the agreement with the site.

          Therefore, the best strategy would seem to be to keep doing what we’re doing. We must impoverish the entertainment industry and eventually, just like how the RIAA has faded away, so will they fade and no longer have the resources to control the government.

        • krypz

          matt, i think we have to look further even than the entertainment industry. the government accomodates the ultra-rich and that is a problem but the true problem lies with the immense concentration of wealth in few hands. who finances the entertainment industry? who finances EVERYTHING? look to what winston churchill called “the high cabal” of unknown, unseen power brokers: i bet all my chips on these invisible people being bankers. not jp morgan chase, bank of america, etc; behind them, the truly elite, silent, hidden few that provide these banks their capital. btw: reading assignment: col l fletcher prouty… use your favorite search engine…

        • Ghost

           sorry matt for some reason it wouldn’t let me reply to yours.

          The government is not the enemy, but it has made itself the target since it’s the conduit to the entertainment industry through which our voices are loudest. We frighten the government and they’ll start thinking twice about just doing whatever the entertainment industry wants, and by having a basically unlimited number of Torrent sites to fall back on we can continue hurting the entertainment industry over a much longer period of time.

          Most governments are where the entertainment industry gets it’s numbers from, the only reason say, Fox knows that in a typical family there is a mother and father, 2.5 kids and most likely a dog, knowing this informs them of the majority of their audience and allows them to “cater” to said audience. now if the government did another survey, but this time they are looking for how many torrent sites there are with american IP addresses, well it might just shock someone into paying attention.

Another reason i am becoming quickly ashamed of my country, cant handle real problems like homelessness, hunger and crime, they are to busy bowing down to the media giants to make a buck and making sure i cant DL crap garbage movies. I own hundreds of bought dvd’s…maybe if they start making movies worth watching more than 1 time i might start buying dvd’s again…..( keyword: might ).

    • WasterOfTime

      I usually resort to torrenting to obtain items that are otherwise insanely difficult to obtain otherwise, especially legally.

      Sure, 90′s are All That, and Cartoon Planet are playing the classics again, but I also want to watch them when I see fit, instead of waiting a freaking week for something neux (old, yet new again for newer generations; faux-new). Similar could be said about animes which are not as popular around here, and I have to wait every Saturday for Toonami. What about really good shows like One Piece, for example? Nope, we’re stuck with the 4kids version, and even that’s no longer played.

      In a similar vein, emulation has reconnected me to classic gaming that makes me reconnect with nostalgia big time, and even with some other gaming, I’m a bit of a try-b4-buy type. I do pay my dues, when a sale is on. But even so, price is just right, so why not? And what’s the common factor? Good games, fair price; kudos especially if DRM-free, I would even be willing to pay extra just out of gratuity for the distributor/producer not being an asshole.

      Demonoid, you will be missed. I would accept your return big time if/when Hell finally breaks loose.

          And excuse my rage-induced rant there. That was directed at the MAFIAA and anyone else running… scratch that, ruining our country. I’m all for our freedoms and everything else (and everything that being an American used to stand for). It’s just a shame that being an American no longer carries the luster it once had.

          That is what makes me ashamed. The people that run this place are ruining it for those who live there. Then again, naturally,  this is not an isolated incident, and other countries are in just as bad a state.

          If I went overboard, and offended anyone else, sorry about that. Like I said, it was meant for the so-called “elites”.

        • redacted

          You have nothing to be sorry for, Guy.

          The American people, historically, have a LOT of things of which they can be proud.

          The current generations? Not so much.

          We are a nation obsessed with defending/praising/electing a wealthy elite whose only concern is the taking of short term profit and long term power.

          We’re a nation of serfs and dummies (like the one that took umbrage at your original ranty post) that are unable to differentiate between propaganda and reliable information. 

          It’s getting worse, not better.

        • WasterOfTime

          Not news to me, but thanks nonetheless.

          I figured it appropriate, still, to at least clarify and apologize if I offended any (blindly) patriotic-minded individual that would misread my message as being a self-hating American. Obviously, they missed the targets I marked as off the secession list. Area 51 can always be overwhelmed, provided enough people, which is why I spared that area.

          Plus, if an alien mega-weapon is hidden there, then we’re in business.

        They’re proud …PROUD… of something they know essentially nothing about.

        Next up: Defending a system that requires half of it’s citizens live in abject poverty, a paycheck away from total devastation (at best).

        Yeah. Great. Super.

        After all, Lee Greenwood wrote that swell song about it, so it MUST be great.

        Hurray for feudalism.

        Hurray for an entire political party dedicated to working against the economic interests of it’s own membership (and another that does the same thing a little slower)

        If you just wave that flag hard enough, maybe all the bullshit will magically become true. Gonna give it your best shot, I’m sure.

      • WasterOfTime

        Why am I reminded of Civilization or Tropico right now? I think I’ve seen that strategy used before. Serious dick move that can yield a powerful, yet brief, tactical advantage at a more global scale. It goes right, the world is yours, it goes wrong, I hope you made well with God, or a decent pact with the devil, because it ain’t ending well afterwards.

        Then again, on that note, my advice once our government is re-built post-2nd-American Revolution (it’s inevitable at this rate): If anyone is to be running for office, it’s mandatory to play a sandbox game of either game (and maybe SimCity) for a full game’s worth. Your score will determine if you’re fit for the task.

        Sound good? Not perfect, and could maybe use some tweaking, but at least, provided a log or replay, or an overseer of sorts (the player only believes the score determines, not that their game is being streamed to an online audience) will watch how they played, just to make sure they’re not bullshitting everyone.

    I might repeat some stuff that has already been said in here but here I go nonetheless. I think in this day and age, where we’re all connected and europeans and americans are finally allowed to insult eachothers in real time without having to write down letters, some things have radically changed and I think the entire meaning of the word “stealing” needs to be changed. No, torrenting is not stealing, because stealing implies taking something from everyone and not copying it. I think what is stealing is take an artist’s work and claim to be its author – THAT is stealing, but simply copying the work of said artist to enjoy it and let other people enjoy it is not stealing – if anything, it’s promoting said artists.

    Other than this as it has already been said, other than indipendent/indie artists stay assured that most of the money goes to power-hungry corporations who could already buy the entire world if possible but still want more. Look at how companies like Nintendo or Sony are re-releasing games for past systems on the wii/playstation 3. For example, you can have an original copy of ape escape for the PSX but it won’t run on the playstation 3. No, you need to re-buy the re-release which doesn’t even change anything. The truth is that everything that could be downloaded from the internet should become free and open-source after 3 years of release. That means you don’t have to buy games from 1990 and new stuff can still sell and then can be downloaded later.

    The truth is that the entertainment industry needs to catch up with the recent changes. It has no specific laws and only decides to do what the guys in charge want (which means more money for them and more re-releases for us of things we already bought). It’s not like that back in ancient greece the illiad and odyssey were (c) Homer either, so why must every book and song and movie nowadays be like that? Can’t artists be supported by the government? Can’t the corporate money (they have enough as it is) be used to fix nations’ problems? Whoever defends the current state of affairs and thinks piracy means stealing is obviously a moron, regardless of personal opinions.

    If it wasn’t for the internet, I probably would never have gotten to know all the movies, music and video games I enjoy today. If most people weren’t idiots we already would have picked up the pitchforks and rebelled against this system. But apparently most people are too busy wasting their time, and it’s why stuff like the NWO, ACTA, trade agreements and the illuminati exist. What solutions do you propose now?

    Also I’m the best.

    Well, since the there was a hack to the site– much of the data contained within will be subject to more than reasonable doubt as to it’s authenticity. Nevertheless.. eastern Europe apparently is no longer becoming a safe haven for torrent sites. Perhaps there are moles from wtihin selling out these sites so that they can be disrupted when they’re most vulnerable.. sad day indeed.

    Well, there are indications that other sites are getting hit as well.. BTJunkie is gone, and now Demonoid (remains to be seen if it will be back)– the owner has not committed to whether they will thumb their nose to the international USA policing of the internet as TPB have done..

    The next big fish in the torrent sea is probably Kickass Torrents and others who have modeled off TPB. Sites, and site owners / users.. watch your back.. I fear a storm is coming by the end of the year.. these enforcement tools will be back again with multiple takedowns and actual arrests.This will be a bigger fiasco than the megaupload case. Watch your backs!!!

    The worst pity about this is that there are entire series of books (many of which I have purchased!) which I -never- would have heard of, or even thought have reading/listening to, if not for Demonoid. No other site on the internet has daily uploads of new audiobooks and books in the fashion demonoid did. No other organized them as well. The ironic part is; I’ll probably spend less money now. I can’t find any other halfway decent source of audiobooks. The audiobookbay doesn’t really have decent organization, or a large enough user base. Demonid did.

    whats next closing down radio stations because people are not buying every song they listen to? closing libraries because people are not buying books? The stopping of freeview tv and forcing people to buy every single program before they watch it (and still taking huge amounts in advertising revenue to bombard viewers with)? All whilst pushing up the prices of home entertainment whilst people’s wages are not increasing and are actually decreasing when you take inflation into account. Why should companies be allowed annual increases when the customers don’t get an annual increase in their wages?

    The whole system is fucked, corporations are alienating the very people who would eventually buy it I recently downloaded one season of a tv show – then bought the frigging $219 complete series boxset – it just goes to show that torrents = stealing and lost sales is bullshit

I mean, in the larger scheme of things a shared copy of ‘Booty Juice II’, while not something unappealing, is a far cry from the glimmer in the eyes of the Internet’s creators
          …I’m guessing.

    • LovesMeSomeSheeple

      Your problem isn’t that America is not a democracy, your problem is that the vast majority don’t care about (or disagree with your position on) the issues that are important to you.  America doesn’t stop being a democracy because you are in the minority.  I know some will argue that the USA is made up of sheeple.  But sheeple have the right to vote too. 

      The fact of the matter is there is no majority (or really even a substantial minority)  that is in favor of abolishing copyright law or legalizing file sharing.  There is a majority that cares about online privacy and government overreach on the internet.  Of course there are large media companies and their lobbyists that want to make it easier to stop file sharing at the expense of everyone’s freedom.  The trick is making sure the majority are educated and motivated to stop the next SOPA bill.

    There’s more to Demonoid’s shutdown than meets the eye,last night I was talking to one of the admins at mininova who says that it was expected that  a few torrent sites would be ddos’ed during the Olympics,kinda makes sense.I expect Demonoid to return just after the games are over.

    All the US government wants is power. Look at the patriot act! Congress passed the act and they have been renewing it every chance they get. The same politicians that cried out against it later voted to renew it. When we give our government power and let it take our liberties we will never get them back because no man will ever give back power.

    It is absurd to say people who use p2p sites are stealing. By definition an object can not be stolen when the person who owns the object still posses it. Yet some how the US government has convinced itself and others that copying music is stealing. Our government wouldn’t care about p2p sites if there wasn’t an opportunity to gain control and power. Why would politicians care unless somebody gave them a reason to care…money is power and Hollywood has lots of it. Power is the same reason our government got involved with baseball and steroids. I mean come on our government has no business being involved with that issue and they have no business being involved with p2p sites.

    Now how do these politicians get away with stealing our liberties and taking power away from us? 2 reasons they use fear and “I don’t care because it doesn’t affect me.” We give our freedom away so willingly when we are afraid. Freedom is worth nothing to the average US citizen. I mean we let our government take naked photos of us at the airport! Yes we now have machines at airports that take naked pictures of you because it helps keep us safe. We will no longer make sacrifices for our freedom.

     2nd reason is my favorite, the “it doesn’t affect me” attitude. 

    “First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
    - Martin Niemöller-

    If u don’t defend freedom in all its aspects they you don’t defend freedom at all. Citizens of the US will keep giving the freedom away and we will keep giving our government power and we will call ourselves the land of the free but we will be far from it. This will never stop because we are the ones that are letting it happen. What happened to demonoid is total crap and is a prime example of the corruption of this country and the willingness of its citizens to drink the kool aid. Bush, Obama, Clinton, who ever was and is to come are all the same, evil douche bags.

    “We let those who we call crooks and liars enslave us and we call the shackles they bind us with freedom.”

    what do they hope to gain from copying it.. email addresses? ips..
    all of which proves nothing.. as they have nothing to do with sharing content on connection to the server

    i am curious as to what, if any, backlash has happened in the Ukraine over this disgraceful act? do the Ukraine people think that any other site that is used there will be safe now Demonoid has been ‘removed’? if so, let me assure you guys, you are very much mistaken! having gotten this fucking arse hole to bend over once for the US, the next time will be so much easier for him. even if not asked, he will be expected to do the same thing again. it may even be to local sites as well. now he has fallen into this mode, especially if he has received no bad press there about his conduct, he will just carry on! once in the EU, i assume he is another one that will be added to the elite band of arse holes that make up the EU Commission, along side De Gucht and co!

  • me

    “Despite general opinion that Demonoid did not contravene Ukranian law,
    especially since it blocked all Ukranian IP addresses to avoid upsetting
    the locals, the site still attracted the attention of the authorities
    there.”

    Blocking Ukrainian IP addresses was actually what may have cost them sympathy among Ukrainians. No wonder they didn’t find supporters among their own compatriots.

       No it’s not you goddamn child. Right now it’s analogous to 1941 maybe early 1942 in the world war of internet freedom.  People need to start educating themselves on other ways of sharing than open internet p2p, such as closed/private trackers, usenet and i2p. More and more people start using technologically sophisticated methods of sharing, the harder it will be for the outdated and dinosaur corporate industry to keep up. I think TF’s greatest task, other than provide alarming news, is to also provide a source of information of how to set up and use these alternative networks.

  • No1youknow

    After all most of the things on Demonoid were film software and books they had very little porn if any. I would be willing to guess that the major force behind this came from big money like Microsoft, Adobe and the Film/ Music industry that was loosing money.  Lets face it Microsoft was just getting ready to launch Windows 8 ($200.00 rough guess Full Version)so it makes sense to add political pressure to take down that site not to mention Adobe just released CS 6 ($1700.00 full version non upgrade.) so they also had good reason to want the site taken out. Both of these companies have the pull to make phone calls to the political powers that be to get things done. Republican or Democrat doesnt matter it came down to the money it is that simple. 

  • No1youknow

    For the reasons I stated above this is why I think and hope the powers at ANONYMOUS to get involved and strike at the people who took down this site. ANONYMOUS has never hurt anyone but has made a point to those that do stupid things and I hope one of their members reads this. I just dont have the computer knowledge or ability to join their ranks.

    Ultimately its the big corporations that already make huge money that will benefit. And again money and power used to bulldoze free sharing. Its the greed of the record companies. I dont think they were truly affected by p2p sharing, its all speculation. People who buy will keep buying no matter p2p, and people who wont buy and try for p2p will keep doing the same. There is nothing to gain by this action for these bullies. US worried about laws and ethics, there are many serious issues affecting humankind with that regard, p2p is the least of them. But then, its the money that matters not the ethics.

    I second an earlier commenter in saying that Iceland is the next step in Datacenters of all sorts, but especially filesharing sites.

    #1 It’s smack in the middle of the Atlantic therefore providing relatively low latency connections to both Europe and America.
    #2 It’s at the bottom of a serious economic depression therefore willing to accept any sort of “grey area” cash, such as payment from filesharing sites.#3 It’s got f****** loads of cheap thermal-, hydro-electric energy and cooling isn’t much of an issue since the temperature almost never goes above 20°C all year round.

    what the community needs is a distributed hosting model, so that each user has a copy of the site/torrents which updates across the network – when you want to add a torrent/comment it would appear on your local client which in turn would propagate to other clients that are connected similar to how a torrent file works – if a million people where connected site updates would be more or less instantaneous

     Anyone know if the equipment they seized might have ips addresses and such on them?

    • Anon

       Sure it will but if you look at what was done with such evidence in past siezures they don’t go after people who were minor players. IF (and it’s a very big if) they go after any users at all then it will be a very select handful of major content uploaders. People who essentially uploaded big new movies first and frequently will be at high risk. Most of those people did not upload from their actual IP though and the government knows this by past experience that persuing users is time and money intensive with very poor results when all is said and done. That’s why they don’t even bother persuing the millions of downloader users they will obtain data on.

      If torrent sites were making billions of dollars then they could simply buy politicians like the wall street bankers do and all their crimes would be legal.

      They’d be too big to fail.

    I’m dissapointed, Demonoid was my favorite torrent site, , I downloaded tons of stuff from it. But don’t worry, another torrent site just as good will take its place eventually. Piracy is like the war on drug or like prohibition was from 1920 to 1933. Unwinnable. Can’t be stopped, never.

    • robthom

      True, but its a shame they picked on Demonoid.

      Demonoid was something special.

      Maybe thats exactly why they did.

    Am I’m the only one that’s still downloading my ass off from Demonoid? I’m glad I still have a bunch of legal torrent files saved on my harddrive — files that I haven’t populated in my torrent client . . . yet. What I was thinkin’ was, we probably should start a central site and have Demonoid members post all of their old, legal torrent files that they still have sitting on their harddrives. Hmmmmmm.

    Thanks to Demonoid, I have legal torrent files of everything from Oxford books to Cambridge books. Riaa can kiss my ass, and roll up a couple of blunts for me while they’re at it. Now, I don’t really smoke, but I would surely start after I backup all of my 2 TB harddrives.

    I really hope Demonoid come back, though. Next time, I suggest that members upload packs of legal torrent files for reasons like this.

    • robthom

      I’ve also got  bunch of demon torrents that I didn’t have the storage space to DL at the time, but as I get the space and start them they are still active.

    • carlos140

       Great idea.  I’ve been walking around the house this morning thinking – what if everyone uploaded all surviving remaining torrents we all have left, I’m sure that’s be into the millions world-wide – onto a cloud server somewhere.  The phoenix rises, but we all need to help here.  A “cloud” server would need to be somewhere politically safe – and anti a lot of things – what about Ecuador?!?

    Even if the site is started again, i highly doubt it though, all the torrents would have been removed and it would be very hard to get started again

    • robthom

      Not really.

      All the torrents that I dl’d before the takedown are still active, and the demon community would just restock it with goodness in short order anyway.

      They should probably make it exclusively private next time though.

    Evan, your retarded, Demoniod wasn’t a public site, you had to get invited, it just had a very, very large base of people~~

     That’s why the site was so good, don’t know why you are trashing public sites anyway’s, Torrentspy, and BTjunkies were the BEST torrent sites til they got closed down, both public, you used to be able to find ANYTHING you were looking for on those 2, regardless, Demoniod wasn’t public, so am guessing you never bothered going there to find that out, without a membership you wouldn’t have been able to DL squat~~

  • Joegaff76

    Boy oh boy…I miss Demonoid too – it was a great place to grab homemade Quadrophonic, vinyl remixes of classic albums using the DVD Audio music platform. BUT…let’s be realistic here. We all knew this would happen. Whether we call it “sharing”or not, when we download a DVD or Blu-Ray file (MKV file or not), audio-book or Music – it’s stealing…plain and simple. The excuse “well hollywood makes billions of $$ anyway…this download won’t hurt them” means nothing – if you steal from a billionaire or some destitute homeless person it’s still stealing. At least I admit it, can anyone else here see the big pink elephant in the corner of the room?. And GLOBALIZATION of corporations are what took-down the site…not just the USA. Don’t forget the good ol’ UK has major film and recording Studios too…and they weren’t immune to losing money. “Freedom of Speech” doesn’t cover download piracy, c’mon people. Just admit it – we all knew this site would go down…most (not all) of the content was Pirated – plain and simple. I’m angry more for losing THE BEST quadrophonic and surround sound music source on the web than I am about losing hollywood films. Every day I was able to grab something off Demonoid I realized that one day it wouldn’t be there anymore. Believe me, I really miss Demonoid – does anyone know where to get those wonderful Quadrophonic Re-Mixes of classic albums in DVD Audio Surround Sound?

    • Alex M

      Yes Jeoaff76, on a moral level of course it’s stealing, but Demonoid didn’t steal anything – it didn’t share or upload any files. It was simply a portal for users to track and share. The UK doesn’t actually have any record labels, as far as I know (they’re all US or Japanese corporations. The UK certainly has artists and producers (the best in the world, in my opinion.

      I didn’t just use Demonoid to get copyrighted material. I used it to get documentaries made by “truth seekers” that were not copyrighted for obvious reasons and I know many others did too.

      I think you’re missing the point here, somewhat; this isn’t about copyrighted material being downloaded. That old argument has been around since Napster. This was a Trojan Horse (sort of. not a great metaphor, I know). Insiders in the US have wanted to stop people criticising the govt for years and this is a first step. Obama’s been wanting power over the internet ever since he took office. I find this rather hyprocritical as he spoke against Egypt pulling the internet at the beginning of the protests.

      The laws written in the US are so vague to give a govt out of control and greedy for power and the silence of its critics the framework to silence them in the future. This also happened in the UK but with the help of Big Brother Watch’s rallying of its supporters and other pressure groups it was squashed. In the US, sadly the people are afraid of the govt. With a little phrase “un-American” the people have been silenced. You’ll find this nowhere else in the world. There’s no one saying “That’s un-British” or “that’s un-Australian.” The US has far too much power in the affairs of other nations too. The Russians completely caved to US pressure, as did the Canadian govt before.

      The US is attempting to extradite people it sees as “terrorists” – another word that has become like trying to nail jelly to the wall – by fair means or foul. If Sweden gets Julian Assange, for example, they will allow the US to get him – when he has committed no crime. He didn’t steal that information, he simply disseminated it, like the NY Times did (who have never even been threatened with legal action). Assange can not be a traitor to the US as he is Australian. It’s all about sending messages and setting precedents. You have to look at the global implications of every political policy. How is it worded. Is the language tight (like the US constitution); can it be used to mean something else later?

      A few words about elephants: A pink elephant is something alcoholics see; a white elephant is something useless or pointless; and the (plain) elephant in the room is the metaphorical discussion no one wants to have.

      I’ll also say this. Whenever I downloaded an album by an artist I like but couldn’t afford it a the time, I did purchase it as soon as I could. I want the art work as well as the music and I want the flexibility I get from original media. I have over 400 DVDs and BRs too. Truth.

      I have no idea where you can get you Quad remixes. You’ll notice there are fewer and fewer places for torrents these days. BTJunkie, PirateBay and now Demonoid. ISOHunt is crap as people don’t use it properly and many torrents have few peers, except recent movies (which is probably why it’s still there).
