Demonoid Torrent Tracker Shut Down by CRIA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thats-a-big-surprise-now-isn't-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As of Tuesday, 25th September 2007, Demonoid is currently down, with no prior warnings from any moderators of the site. Both the main torrent page and the forum (fora) are no longer accessible. It is still possible to ping and trace the IP address of the site and it locates itself as in Canada. As of 6:45pm EST on 9-25-07, SSH and SMTP services are no longer active. Torrentfreak.com has since reported this is due to legal actions from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) who ordered Demonoid's ISP to shut down the site."

    I'm sure dykes are just as outraged about DRM as anyone else. But why pick them?

    Fingering the dyke? The CRIA is more like a c*ck up the arse.

    There really is no way to tell the truth in the story without getting someone from demonoid to talk about it... ...or you could tell me where the server is located. I live in central Canada, so I could just waltz over there and check it for you. It's not like Canada is very big and I can use my dogsled. Problem solved.

    actually that is not true, look it up in a dictionary and you'll see that dike and dyke are synonims. Though synonims and synonyms aren't synonyms.
