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.

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
