Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online
Crymson4 writes "We discussed the shutdown of the Demonoid torrent tracker last fall. For those who don't already know, Demonoid is back up. Looks like they found a new host for the Web site and the tracker is functioning properly as well. For those with old accounts, all the old data has been saved. It's almost as if they never left."
I don't understand this hatred of 'leeching' amongst file sharers. You know that you are ALL leeching right? You are leeching off the honest people who actually BUY the music, BUY the movies and BUY the software. without them, the stuff would not get made, and people like yourselves with overinflated senses of entitlement wouldn't be able to LEECH it off the honest majority.
next time you complain about people leeching, take a good honest look at what you are doing.
No surprise to me to see slashdot triumphing the return of a warez site, the whole place is just a meeting point for pirates these days, ironic to see a copyright notice for sourceforge at the bottom of each page.
Go on, mod me down for pointing out the truth...

There's no "principle" behind letting every redneck plunder the bandwidth and effort of the community, while giving nothing back. The bottom line is simple: private trackers have much higher speeds because of the fourced seeding.
If you can max out your puny download bandwidth on public trackers, while at the same time enjoy wasting your time in bypassing compulsory registration, then kudos to you. The registration system does not need to be airtight, just hard enough to generate for most people the above described effect: it should make sense to register, and be part of the community, because you get something back for it, and on the other hand, hacking the system should be hard enough not to warrant the rewards.
