Demonoid’s ISP to Appeal Against BREIN
Written by Enigmax & Ernesto on June 29, 2007Following on from reports this week that the Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN had moved to take the Demonoid BitTorrent tracker offline, its host Leaseweb, is set to appeal last week’s decision to force it to reveal the customer’s details of the smaller BitTorrent site everlasting.nu.
Last week, the Dutch ISP Leaseweb was forced to take down the everlasting.nu BitTorrent tracker after the Amsterdam court decided that it facilitated copyright infringement.
As reported, the outcome of the lawsuit initiated by the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN could spell trouble for some of the key players in the BitTorrent landscape. Concerned about this decision, administrators at other trackers hosted at Leaseweb started looking for alternative hosts.
In an attempt to re-assure its customers, Leaseweb is set to appeal against the original court decision regarding everlasting.nu. They argue that the decision is an unacceptable restriction on freedom of expression on the Internet.
In addition Leaseweb stressed that they have nothing to do with the downtime issues Demonoid experienced this week. “Leaseweb had no contact with the owner of Demonoid this week”, Leaseweb’s lawyer noted.
The lawyers office further states that they demand that BREIN is more documented and thorough in their requests to take down BitTorrent sites. “If the ruling in the everlasing.nu case holds up, freedom of expression on the Internet would be a joke”, the lawyers said.
Tim Kuik, managing director of BREIN says Leaseweb doesn’t stand a chance because their previous request was well grounded, and everlasting.nu unmistakably engaged in unlawful behavior. Kuik further explained that illegally offering files has nothing to do with privacy and freedom of expression, as Leaseweb suggested.

Im hoping if Leaseweb moves that Demonoid wont have 2 do anything(since theyve been down)… Demonoid is my Fav… Damn BREIN..
I have a bookmark folder thats bursting with loadsa torrent sites, loads of public and I am a member of nearly all the good private sites, but I still find myself using demonoid more than any other simply for the variety the offer. The speeds might not be the best but they are far from the worst and the different file catogories they have more than make up for this
BREIN, You bastards!!! I promis you that CTI will not let this go unforgotten…
Now I need to find a completely new private server. Gah and now I won’t have ANY invites to use to trade with. Need to get a screen of my ratio before demonoid goes down…
Brien are on a publicity membership drive. Google for “Tim Kuik porn”
I came from Elite to Demonoid as i think most people did.
So what is the alternative if they don’t get thisback online?
What sites do you recommend?
Cheers
Demonoid was one of the best trackers especially for classical music. It would be bad if it got shut down permanently. Wonder why they have not targeted mininova and the other big players…
It seems to me that all torrents will die.. -(( And many users will be sucking a cock for a coke
If DM gets shut down I’m not sure what I’ll do. I’ve relied on DM for years for all those things you can never find elsewhere, be it comics, apps, films or music.
Has anyone here also noticed that oink.me.uk is also down? They are, to my knowledge, also hosted at leaseweb.
Demonoid ok.. but dammit, not oink!!!
I’ve just decided to stay away from torrents. The porn ain’t fresh as well as movies are in shit quality, and consequences may be dire..
wow, that is nice for you torrent user

“So what is the alternative if they don’t get thisback online? What sites do you recommend?”
Wonder same. Demonoid notice still dated June 27 but and still says ‘up tomorrow’. They must be having a lot of trouble restoring. Wish they had RAID! So were until they are back? http://www.mininova.org/ or http://torrentspy.com? See you back at demonoid when it is back.
Yah oink and demonoid are both down. This is huge trouble. I’m going to lay low for a while for things to get better. Back to buying my stuff for a few weeks. Also, sites such as BM torrents and torrentleech could also fall, they’re are hosted on sister companies that are linked to leaseweb.

Because demonoid is a tracker,
mininova is just a indexing-site ..
and they are also getting the heat !
OiNK is down too? I myself have never been there but I know that it’s supposed to be a great site. Damn…
the official forum is working now:
http://fora.demonoid.com/
=)
OiNK is an alright site but the administration sucks, next to impossible to keep a good upload ratio, But the quality in releases are half decent. either way, their are plenty of other quality sites still around.
[quote comment="126432"]…either way, their are plenty of other quality sites still around.[/quote]
like what?
ok guys if demonoid is down we can just use other places like http://thepiratebay.org they got best aXXo movies and most of the POPULAR stuff on demonoid is copied to piratebay and they have geat ppl scaning to viruses..
“the official forum is working now: http://fora.demonoid.com/ =)”
Thanks but no new registrations. please let us know what happens here thankyou! anxious for news!
HERE IS A FIX FOR OINK if you use mac
__________________________________
Temporary fix for Mac OS X, it requires some work in the Terminal. You need the admin password for your system for this. Make sure to enter all commands in bold correctly with the proper spaces and capitalization.
1. Open “Terminal” from your Applications / Utilities directory.
2. Type cd /private/etc and hit enter.
3. Time to edit the hosts file, we will use VIM for it, which is a text editor for the console. You also need root privileges to edit the file because it is read only for normal users.
Type sudo vim hosts and hit enter. You will be asked for your admin password, enter it and hit enter, then VIM pops up.
4. You will see the content of the hosts file, first few lines are comments with # in the front, then 3 entries, do NOT touch these. Navigate to the last line with your cursor keys and then to the right till the cursor is behind the localhost entry
5. Now you need VIM to go into edit mode, do this by hitting i
6. VIM is in insert mode now, hit enter for a new line and type
85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
If you want you can add the following lines too, in case you encounter trouble with IRC or the website. Hit enter after each line for a new one
85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk
7. Time to leave edit mode now, do so by hitting the escape key.
8. Back in viewing mode, now you need to save the file. You can do this by typing :w and hitting enter, VIM will tell you something like “hosts (number of lines) written”.
9. Now you need to exit VIM. Type :q and hit enter, you will be back at the terminal.
10. Almost done, now you need to tell the OS to use the content of the new hosts file.
Type sudo niload -v -m hosts .
OINKS FOR WINDOWS
_______________
If you are running windows, there is a easy way to fix it, for now,
go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, there is a file there called hosts, open it in notepad, then add:
85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk
85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk
oink is actually up. They are having DNS issues.
edit your hosts file and add this.
85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk

http://www.demonoid.com
Oh boy I hope they have RAID now!
Man, BREIN really needs to ge anally raped by the evil nail-dicked people…
Freedom of information, freedom of speech… Aw, what the hell, where’s the Soma?
come on this is shit Demonoid.com are not responsible for what US the users post or download at the end of the day the normal punter who shares rare and old films cant do it anymoer without having to look over their shoulders KEEP DEMONOID ALIVE
WE ARE WITH U DEMONOID.COM
LONG LIVE INTERNET FREEDOM. WE HAVE BEEN OVER CHARGED FOR YEARS NOW LETS TAKE SOMTHING FOR NOTHING LONG LIVE DEMONOID MY HEROS
Damn these people!
Just like the oil companies, they need every last penny that a person has. Well freedom will always find a way, and if Demonoid goes down another 3 will pop-up in its stead.
So much for killing the monster…
I am stunned but this is part of the game. I am sure they will be back!
huhuhuhuhuhuh demonoid is my DL site for how many years.. and now.. oh noh.! damn.. hope it’l be back as soon as possible..
There are hundreds and hundreds of bit torrent sites. Closing demonoid does NOTHING to impair bit torrent downloads and uploads. The people bringing lawsuits against bit torrent sites will spend every day for the rest of their lives trying to shut these sites down. Think about this for a moment. What will they accomplish? The answer is NOTHING!…since there will ALWAYS be bit torrent sites. My message to Brein and the rest of those losers is GET A LIFE and do something productive. Do you REALLY want to waste every waking hour of every day of the rest of your life trying to shut down bit torrent sites? In the end, when you are old and gray, you will have regrets that your life was not spent on family, friends, and the enjoyment of making a difference in this world. We pick our battles and make our own bed, and you have picked the wrong battle, and the bed you lay in will never give you comfort.
Demonoid is the best sit in the whole net and now some idiots and fools shut it up for a stuiped reason they have no right to close it and there statment do not hold or could be translate in to a court if they think they protect the mony and bussines of the industiral game world they are stuiped becouse it will be release by spy in there companys so this great sit Demonoid is not the one sit should be close it is the spies should be killed in game company i wish that it will open so soon let us all stand for this sit

Demonoid in my opinion is the Master of Torrents and can’t die because a bunch of bastards telling about copyrights and legal rights.
We all have rights.

DH2007.
——-
ohhhhhhhh nooooooooooo… shit my demonoid die!!!
i need other page like demonoid !!!!
Rest In Peace - Demonoid
I doubt that it will open perhaps under a new name, is the only way I see it, I have noticed that this is the begining torrentspy also stopped traffic in the United States and other sites have also stopped traffic in certain regions
this is the list of number ones worth mentioning
1 - Demonoid (Closed)
2 - lacorporacion (messed up) this site was next to demonoid in buying good lounge chill out cds…
3 - torrentspy (not the best search engine but good stuff (open only in certain regions)
I will not mention any more names because thats what got us in this shit in the first place….
i remember getting pissed off that in EBAY they where selling registrations and invites to demonoid, the reason i got upset wasnt because people wanted to make money or more people would be coming in to stress the server…
the reason i got upset is because i knew the site would drag attention form unwanted sources and so it did…. perhaps a little bit before that but still
USERS did not have responsibility
hence this is what happened
my say is respect the community share your stuff if you happen to be in a region where you can… keep things discreet….. that way the lifespan of torrents can expand….
in the end the people who happen to be in certain contries end up buying some of the stuff in its original form anyway for whatever reasons ….. quality in audio….
music collectors and the ones who dont well the way i see it.. is in certain contries where the price is higher for such items … in the end its all compensated…
i could go on talking crap all day lol but hey back to basics… looking for another number one site…
keep it discreet people …… in the future
:( would we know if they got back under diff name?
im sure you can GOOGLE IT UP LOL
lol i know i can google it ,but thats the problem if they got a new name how the hell im supposed to know lol
Damn…….we miss demonoid so much ………….
This is to turtleT
LMAO you damn right about that … thats the point YOU WONT KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS>>>
but for a minimal fee LMAO JK…
back to being seriouse .. im sure it will be well known browsing through forums… and they will pass on the hint somehow…
