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 As of 6:45pm EST on 9-25-07, SSH and SMTP services are no longer active.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 feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

    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.

    This action is akin to putting a finger in the dyke, but there are thousands A dyke is a lesbian. A dike is a dam. No one read the rest of your post because they were distracted by thoughts of lesbians.

    This action is akin to putting a finger in the dyke, but there are thousands, if not millions of other holes.
    I would appreciate it if you could point me to the direction of an available one.

    If you could say Hi to my cousin on the way that would be awesome. He also lives in Canada.
