Demonoid Shuts Down Again
Written by Ernesto on November 09, 2007Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers, was forced to go offline again because the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) threatened their ISP.
It’s been just over 6 weeks since the CRIA allegedly shut down the Demonoid BitTorrent tracker. Details were scarce at the time, with lots of people simply claiming the site had some technical or server issues. Indeed, TorrentFreak came in for quite some criticism when we claimed the CRIA was involved, but when the site returned there were some ominous signs which seemed to support our claims.
Eventually, the Demonoid trackers reappeared, followed by the site itself but was forced to block Canadian visitors by the CRIA. However, despite blocking Canadians, it seems the CRIA hasn’t yet had enough of harassing Demonoid and its host.
On Demonoid.com we now read:
“The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.”
Indeed, Demonoid’s host had previously said that if it had any major hassle, it was likely it could pull the plug on the site.
A message on the Demonoid IRC channel says: “Site is down, tracker is up. Expect the site to return, unless we hear otherwise from Deimos.”
Canada seems to becoming more unfriendly for BitTorrent sites - Demonoid aren’t the only ones being threatened by the recording labels there.

yes it is :o)
I live in Colombia… The Country of… I am volunteering to get something going out here if Demonoid needs a server, we can get one here in this Country. No one worries about copyright laws here nad Getting a server is no problem. Bandwidth is fine and no one would have a problem in this government. The long arm of the States and Canada does not reach here.
If anyone reading this can get ahold of Demois, I would be glad help get Demonoid back up and running again.
Solutions… Not Complaints
LOOK IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT BACK
THERE ARE TWO THINGS YOU CAN DO
1. Never buy another music CD or Pay to Download again.
2. Never Rent or buy another DVD Movie
THIS WILL HURT THEM AND SHOW THEM WE ARE A GROUP THAT CAN HURT THEM WHERE IT COUNTS.

Someone thinks you are an idiot because you were too stupid to check Google before asking a question. They gave you a link to this site as a joke. The fact that you followed it pretty much proves the point.
Hope that helps.
Have a nice day.

Random Information About http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com
* There are a total of four names for this site: http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com, http://www.fuckinggoogleit.com, and the two variants without http://www. Use whichever you like.
* There is an easter egg on the main page.
* Using http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/search.pl?query=foo+bar will show this page and then redirect users to the Google page for searching on “foo bar”, as will many other variants on that idea.
* I’ll be putting in a counter (sort of) soon; the popularity of this site just blows my mind.
My nickname comes short from the term pedifile, and Smurrf refers to the lack of which I have in my pants.
FYI.

? ya what ?
“Baby when you’re gone, I realize I’m in love
days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long
Even food don’t taste that good, drink ain’t doing what it should
things just feel so wrong, baby when you’re gone”
Those words took me like 50 seconds from start to finish.
FRIAA will certainly have something to say about this. Stay tuned.

Dear CRIA/Graham Henderson,
Thanks for the archaic Internet policing. Not only does it prove that your organization is completely worthless and has no idea how to rs in Internet policing.keep on top of a market that is clearly beyond your control, I will also now completely exclude purchasing Canadian cd’s altogether. As a regular music-buyer, that is the only impact you have made on internet users like me.
For every Demonoid site that goes down, 3-4 more spring up to take
their place, but I’m sure you knew that. As I’m sure this comment will
go unnoticed in your circle of CEO’s and members who probably couldn’t
even name ten local bands in the Toronto area, let it also be a strong indication that your organization has absolutely no effect on how single individuals like me choose to procure music digitally or otherwise. Instead, you have actually aided me in making my choice to completely drop all support for what you call a legitimate music industry.
Good luck and I do hope you spend exorbitant amounts of money in your
many upcoming useless endeavou
Sincerely,
Kameko Rouge
