What I don’t get is what does CRIA have to do with the states??? I know the RIAA probably wants them down, but why shut everyone out if even they haven’t stepped in yet?

Deimos – you’re in my prayers!

I’m sure all those torrents for Anne Murray songs and Tommy Hunter Lp’s on Demonoid were at the heart of the CRIA’s legal briefs. All their hot-shot young lawyers probably passed the bar on torrented legal books. Why is a Canadian court giving legal standing to an American (CRIA) oganization? Last time I checked SOCAN collected royalties for Canadian artists in Canada.

I just got off the Demonoid site and this is what is posted:

“The latest changes to the site are giving us some problems – We’ll be back soon”

An unverified IRC chat was posted at The Circuit Box, which claims to be a discussion between a TorrentFreak reporter and a Demonoid staff member. This was released approximately 18 hours after the site went offline:

“Ok folks, here it is. Demonoid is down. It has been for around 2 day (sic) almost. The reason it is down is unknown, and is still unknown. It HASN’T I repeat HASN’T been RAIDed, shutdown, terminated, deleted, burned, mamed (sic), or thrown under a bridge.”[7]

As of Saturday, September 29, 2007 at 4:34:09 AM GMT, the Demonoid trackers are working, although the site is still offline.

I’ve read on wikipedia this morning that Deimos(admin of demonoid) has died from massive head trauma as a result of a automobile accident and the servers were shutdown indefinitely! and the reason there wasn’t any info posted at the demonoid site was because Deimos had exclusive access to any changes. but then I went back to wikipedia to copy the info to paste here and it had been removed. so who knows

halo 3 sucks ……………. first person shooters suck………… they are all the same…….. demonoid being down wont increase sales of halo..

MediaDefender……. Now thats a different story………. A lot of trackers/torrent sites have been attacked recently . tactics include—-
DDOS attacks to flood the tracker and server making them slow and unusable.
Threats of law suites for hosting and tracking torrents.
Threats to isp’s.
Fake files.
Fake files that are very popular and redirect lots of trafic, to target a specific server and slow/shut it down.
Slander and lies about the loss occured by the copyright holers via torrents.

MEDIADEFENDER Sucks ………….
The copyright owners shouldnt listen to them…………

Microsoft pressure? No.
Demonoid admins PLAYING too much Halo 3 ignoring their servers? Possibly…

Coincidence that Halo 3 was released about the time Demonoid went down – Microsoft pressure?

yeah the story is bogus as far as im concerned. the cria has no clout in canada. its own musicans dont like the cria. and torrentbox was never offline. they just blocked us users from gaining access.

everyone knows the first news site to say something about it is gonna be quoted by every other site and there fore make them gain more attention. after the truth comes out no one will care that torrentfreak just made up the story.

if a few people stay with torrentfreak and read their news then they succeded.
