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.

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…
