Demonoid forcedly shut down by CRIA
It has been no longer than 6 weeks since our latest report about Demonoid, which scared thousands of its users. The site was taken offline by Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) that time, although many people thought it has been just technical issues with Demonoid’s servers. As a result of this closure, this popular tracker had to block access to all Canadians – they were simply getting timeout messages in their attempts to contact the server.
Now, when everything looked safe and sound, the site is offline once again. CRIA sent a threatening letter to Demonoid’s hosting provider (Netelligent.ca), which resulted into shutting down the whole site. Demonoid’s tracker still works and ironically wasn’t affected by this latest issue, although it’s the essential part in the process of downloading content through BitTorrent. According to the official IRC channel of this popular site, Demonoid administrator is already working on returning everything back to normal. I wouldn’t wonder if they decided to move their servers to different country and hosting company though, the pressure on p2p applications in Canada is increasing every week…

Yip I was on it last night and was to tired, so I went to bed, and Woke this morning to No Demonoid, Dam shame
those BASTARDS..!!!!!
Save Demonoid
hopefully there is light at the end of this tunnel, Hate to see it shut down for good, though i dont use it, alot of good releases stem from Demonoid aswell as knowing they are always legit.
What is the source of this news, Martin?
A major defeat to all of us at such a low point in p2p the torrent scene is dying if not dead already its becoming a joke.Sweden would be a safe move.
Im speechless..
@6:
I don’t think Sweden’s safe. Look at what happened to TPB.
So.. if they move servers, could they come back? or has it GONE completely.. never Demonoid again?
I would move the server to a less restrained country, worked for TPB.
if the world continue in this path TPB will have to replace all torrent sites that exist in the end
I highly doubt its gone forever so I wouldnt worry.
1UP: demonoid.com, whois records and their irc channel
@ 9. Damien
IMO, the site would be back up if they moved servers. And they really should.
It was really depressing for me to wake up to this news about Demonoid, but oh well.
change it to russia
God, these idiots never give up do they. THEY WILL NEVER leave even a scratch on online piracy, whenever try their bests to shut something down 10 or more new sites come up that are even better.
noooo not again feckin hate this, they need to move there servers to somewhere random like china or something. and comment 16 is very true 100,000 people tryin to stop 1,000,000 people downloading stuff isnt gonna happen.
yay those bastards wouldnt give me a account
lol@18 i like it
For those who yell “they will never stop online-piracy”, think about this: A legal letter to the provider, that’s all it takes!
See how easy it becomes for “anti-piracy” (or “pro-grabbing-huge-amounts-of-money-from-the-industry-b*st*rds” as I like to call them) to take down torrent sites? This is just the beginning. The only good thing is that Demos (THE MAN behind Demonoid) won’t stop, but just tries again and again. I really like Demonoid. It’s a great place for quality torrents. I really hope they will be back soon.
woohoo nice to see more on this news , i posted about it on technews woopydoo me
but nice to see more on it thanks rlslog , an HOEREN maybe 1 cuz you was not invited or 2 you did not get to applie for 1 on the days they have free sing ups or 3 you a twat 
from Canada’s coppy right department 
@8
you clearly dont know what happend at TPB becouse the police did raide it yes BUT they did brake the law bye doing so becouse its not illigal to have a tracker.
AND they have ther own ISP!!!
named prq so they dont care if they get a leagl letter becouse its the same owners…
LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY!
DAMN!
:guns:
a legal letter is just a piece of paper, it doesnt really do anything to stop online piracy as a whole, sure they might get a website to go offline but there are thousands of other ways to get warez or movies. Do you really think just because they stop 1 website others are not going to popup ? Its a war they will NEVER win. They have been trying the same thing for years now and all its done is made people go underground.
funny thing is that i only found rlslog while demonoid was down the first time… but its a sad day to hear it has gone down again…
Demonoid will be back up sometime soon, maybe a day, maybe a week, maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a month, but it will be back up. They need to move the servers to Africa or South America, some place where they have more worries than people sharing files with each other. File sharing is just crippling the Canadian government. The country is in complete turmoil over this situation. It affects education, crime and poverty. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID, CAN’T YOU??????
Lets just say I would not be surprised if The Pirate Bay put it back online in a few days, I’d be laughing my head off.
@ # 18 yeah i wish they never come back :
FYI – before this happened, canucks, (at least the smart ones) could just connect to demonoid through a proxy and all was well(so long as it wasn’t a canadian based proxy =)
They’ll be back. and really, who cares if they’re not?
Now, there’s a thought, Pirate Bay hosting Demos – how the world turns.
Just wanted to say good luck to Demonoid – the best!
LOL at haters who couldn’t/can’t get an account there, =P
They’ll be back.
TPB should create their own ISP
If Demonoid moves let’s hope access to Canadians opens up again
they will be just fine. as the report says, the tracker is still working fine, just the website is down, which isn’t exactly the backbone of the services
@ #31 yeah F*** u 2
Will I get a refund because I am not able to use my account anymore?
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
To # 26.
How is it crippling education and canadian govt.. Do you realize if it wasn’t for piracy a lot of students wouldn’t even be educated in overpriced applications?
Your talking out of ur a$$
Oh, and Canada is not crippled by file sharing, I have no idea what #26 was saying.. Just a noob with no facts to back up claims
.
@36 and 37. You fellows need an education, because you obviously cannot understand the difference between sarcasm and reality. People are so moronic.
Tracker = down now 2 ,,F*CK those canadians
WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT DMN!!!,
RMT
Can some one send me a invatation for Demonoid when is back?
leka@tippnet.co.yu
TY
Demonoid will be back. I can always count on them to have what I need.
This is a blog, because it sure as hell isn’t journalism.
@36, 37 – IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN YOUR SARCASMOMETER
@26
As a canadian I can say, You are a moron and have no idea what the hell your talking about, You are an idiot! Please don’t advertise your canadian, you’ll make us all look bad…
F*&k the CRIA.
Who said that the recording industry has the rights steal millions of dollars from our pockets???
No thanx smooth, your Mom took care of that.
GO DEMONOID!!!
GUYS, GUYS….
This is why we’ll never win against them, we’re all to busy being biat.chy wee n00bs that we can’t get it together long enough to form a united front.
What!?!!! This is preposterous! An organization trying to protect their interests from being robbed of their living! Canadians have the right to steal, just as much if not more than any other country! Death to CRIA and RIAA and anyone else trying to stop stealing of one’s lively hood!
As a Canadian , I was horribly upset when Demonoid blocked all Canadian traffic. Then , reading a post from Martin , I heard I could still connect through a proxy server. Used to think I was a somewhat smart Canadian , now Im not so sure ( lol ) . Anyhow , could anyone out there either explain to me or send me links on how to go about doing such a thing , it would be greatly appreciated , and if and when Demonoid is back up and I can access it , I will send invites to those in need of one that helped me with this topic. Thanks to all in advance. Mongo1732
@44 riggs – its blatantly obvious TRON was being sarcastic. Perhaps its you that shouldn’t be advertising you’re Canadian.
CANADIAN STUDY: PIRACY BOOSTS CD SALES
How ironic, read this:
http://torrentfreak.com/piracy-boosts-cd-sales-071103/
Hope Demonoid will be back soon.If The other Torrent sites didn´t Had a Classic old movie i whas looking for I almost every time Got it on Demonoid.and when the other Torrent sites only had fake sharing of new movies,i Get The Real thing from demonoid if it whas out.Demonoid was the best and i hope it will be back soon like some people here claim it will.
my last words Goes to the Demonoid Crew :
Thank you for the best Torrent site ever in my own view and i hope you guys will be back soon
Regards
Long live Demonoid and its forums.
Hope it will be back soon enough.
if Demonoid removed all music content, then what would the CRIA be able to do?
it’s just bullsh*t though. the record labels are scared because they didn’t embrace technology and use it properly, so now their outdated business model is failing faster and faster it’s a sinking ship. face it, no one in the music industry needs record labels any more. especially not when you see them waste money for people like J-Lo, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears.
Yup, Long live Demonoid!!!! Hope the green demon be back soon.
“I will be back” :p (quote taken from Terminator)
The CRIA has no real power in Canada. It’s sad that someone would be scared of a letter, and not stick up for a customer.
Boycott Netelligent.ca
just goes to show canada has no real freedoms
To quote South Park… Blame Canada!
I hate my Government, viva la revolution de information!
demonoid isnt showing up in India too , so i tried thru http://www.surfunblocked.com/ .. it works thru that … if not this you can try thru other proxy sites … cheers !!
Fuc|{ing basta2ds…
what a shame, especially after the new study proving that filesharing boosts CD sales.
MILOU HULIPILAA MILOU MILOU MILOU MILOU ;D
nicee, good that I didnt have account there
MILOU MILOU HULIPIlAA PILAA MILOU ;D
I find a large portion of the little known Anime I watch on Demonoid as it’s hard to find the rarer titles elsewhere. I usually end up buying DVDs of the ones I decide I like. There are other sources, but it’s much easier on Demonoid, knowing that someone more often than not will be seeding. :/
MILOU: shut your hole.
Hopefully they will resurrect as demonads 4.0
my bad.. YES its true.. I do not have a sarcasam meter..
I was like wtf nooooooo!!!! when I saw the message. I like demoniod because it’s really well organized and doesn’t have alot, if any fake torrents. Hopefully it’ll go back up soon
I know the tracker is still active……..that’s for sure
bees on CRIA
screw the cria…. demonoid i love u… waiting for ur comeback!!!!!
Man, why don’t the webmasters of “questionable content” such as BT just outright eliminate legal risk – host from Greece. Unless things have changed quite recently, there is absolutely NO COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION whatsoever in Greece. So even if you offered direct downloads of copyrighted works, who’s going to prosecute a legal activity? None of this “we’re technically legal” crap that doesn’t seem to matter in todays legal system, just cut out the legal system altogether by staying completely legal.
I tried to register with an invitation code for the site about 4 days ago and they never sent out an activation email. Would this have anything to do with the shutdown? Shame if it is gone for ever, and just when I was about to be a member
! Hopefully it’s back up…
All In All; bottom line is File Sharing is never going to die, not now not in a thousand years. So just relax, and enjoy the journey
Hmm…well this blows. CRIA can go ffck themselves…
What I dont understand is why they would do this kind of thing TWICE! First they require restriction to Canadian users, now they shut the entire site down. What prevented them from trying this the first time, and why do they have the ability to do it now? Obviously, something has happened that we dont know about, maybe a new law passed or something…
Anyway, I think the best move would be to mimic TPB. TPB has been the biggest p2p protector in existence…hmm…..Maybe TPB should host demonoid! They already have two of the most popular public torrent sites already, why not add a private site (not to mention the most popular private site)?
If something isnt done, Im going to be upset. After all, I love demonoid!
I’m sure torrent sites are prepared for these kinds of bumps in the road and are enacting “plan b”. Ultimately, sites like Demonoid are going to have to get with the program and invest in private/self-perpetuated ISPs. If a letter to the provider can shut down something as big as Demonoid they’ve gotta be thinking about ways to avoid this in the future.
Jesus no – don’t let TPB anywhere near Demonoid. That’s the single BEST thing about Demonoid – they’re NOT run by TPB. Not that there’s anything wrong with TPB – but do we really need another dump site with ZERO organization and no expectations that what you’re downloading will be safe or accurate. TPB is good because everything under the sun shows up there. Demonoid is good for exactly the opposite reason – you don’t have to wade through a ton of crap before you find what you’re looking for.
Not to mention the Demonoid community is just awesome. Public trackers completely lack this sense of community. It’s a shame that people will only act like decent people when they’re being forced to do so.
Hopefully, all the Canadians will be able to access the site…
This really only occurred to me this very minute – what right does the CRIA have stirring up trouble for Demonoid or anyone else for that matter?! Thanks to the levy imposed on blank recording media “pirating” music in Canada is a COMPLETELY LEGALLY PROTECTED activity. I could understand if it was the CMPDA (Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Assoc) as the laws cover music ONLY, leaving movies, software, etc still protected by copyright. So by the CRIA’s own insistence, copying music is ENTIRELY LEGAL in Canada. In other words any legal “threats” that Demonoid has received from the CRIA are not valid, are not enforceable, and could very well constitute harassment. If I was running Demonoid I’d fight the action and couter-sue for harassment and legal expenses.
@lord74:
We always could. Demonoid’s method of screening out Canadians was none-too-thorough. A simple transparent proxy residing outside of Canada is all it took. It didn’t even have to be an anonymizing proxy.
@novakink:
Do your homework numbnutz – we enjoy plenty of freedoms. Many are not shared by many of our so-called industrialized nations. For example, you can’t be thrown in jail here just for saying “gee, I wish the Prime Minister was dead”. Try that in many other countries (including America) and see what happens!
Name me just one freedom that’s common in other countries that we do not have in Canada.
Newsgroups are the way forward!
God bless Demonoid. They will be back…SOON.
@Dad No they are not. Unless you know something everyone else here does not??
@ z@ph0d
It was Netelligent.ca who wimped out not Demonoid.
Just to let you know, this has happened a few times, and I have been with demonoid since it started, chances are this is less than a one month move, and personally they are very good at starting back up and never seem to lose a file, or atleast on their sites, so just wait time can only tell, we all love demonoid, so it will repay us with enough support.
looks like demonoids admin not giving up
YOU GO DEMONOID’S ADMIN!!!!!!
ISP’s are in the worst way in this whole digital millennium crapola. If they comply and obey, the public roasts them alive. If they refuse and deny requests to name names, then THEY are being held accountable for the actions in question – that’s the way the laws are starting to swing in many countries. I feel for the ISP’s – I truly do.
That being said, tho, I’d swear a mortal enemy of any ISP that would cough up ANY info about me to ANYBODY for ANY reason (besides the info that it transmitted as an integral part of the whole TCP/IP mishmash for the nerds and retentives out there). It’s just really crappy that they are being put in the position to have to do so more and more these days. It’s a HUGH scare tactic that’s been working like a charm for RIAA, and will serve many other xIA’s very well in the future. It’s the laws that need to be addressed in all fairness, not the ISPs (with the notable exception of AOL – they need to be addressed to a deserted island and sent postage due with no return address).
it’s canada.!;)
watcha expect.lol
@50 bite me. I’m not the only one who thought that tron was NOT being sarcastic and some are not Canadian. Alot of people out there have screwed up views. I don’t advertise I’m canadian, that was a joke, (I guess your not as smart as your mommy says you are…)p.s. grow up.
Demonoid going down sucks and 51 is right about that article, our government, unfortunately, if it doesn’t benefit them, they stop it.
Demonoid come back soon, we miss you.
Since the Supreme Court of Canada already threw out the case against Canadian Citizens downloading in Canada, I doubt they have any legal authority. Since the Supreme Court sets precedence, I would look at this as a harrassment suit, and suggest the wonderful people at Demonoid file a suit againt them. Legally they are doing nothing wrong, they are not selling and therefore are not criminals.
I used to love demonoid till i found Usenet, but still demonoid is a great community site and it should be back up sooner or later.
Seems the tracker may be offline now as well. Have a couple demonoid torrents active and none have been able to scrape for a while now – connection being actively refused. Hopefully some solution is found.

“…Name me just one freedom that’s common in other countries that we do not have in Canada.”
How about freedom to buy yourself personal health insurance? Only countries in the world that forbid that are Canada, Cuba & Korea… Luckily I think you’ll spend less time waiting for demonoid to come back than you would waiting for cancer treatment.
Canada is starting to SUCK! south park was right about Canada all these years. Damn Irish imitators.
@Matt:
You kinda picked a moot point there bud.
First of all, we have a socialized health care system – think NHS in Britan – so any lifesaving care and the majority of hospital procedures are paid for by your citizenship (it’s managed at a provincial level financially, but the majority of the rules of the system are federal making the same system available across the country).
And secondly, for the stuff that’s not provided for by the federal system (ie free) like prescription drugs, elective procedures, etc we DO in fact have personal health insurance. There’s several insurers that sell private plans for $x.xx/month similar to the US approach but not as sweeping in scope. But there are many insurers that sell through Employers’ benefit systems. At least a basic level of health insurance coverage can be expected for little or no cost in this Country just by having a full time job. Most employers offer tiered levels of these benefits by co-pay with the employer typically paying at least 50% of the premium of the selected plan.
If there’s only one thing I was allowed to be proud of it’s our health care system. It has its faults, for sure, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I just hope we can keep the American uber-corporate influences the hell OUT of our hospitals.
And before someone craps the taxes BS out there pie holes, NO WE ARE NOT TAXED TO DEATH. The taxes we pay are perfectly reasonable – especially when you consider what we get back in services for our tax dollar. Right now, my tax bracket leaves my paycheck about 20% lighter. That’s all gov’t deductions included – federal tax, provincial tax, employment insurance and “old age” pension premiums. And I get about 4% back through mandatory vacation pay that my employer is responsible for. Not a bad system. Not perfect, but FAR from bad.
Ahh- i see what you are saying – we’re not allowed to pay money in order to have our treatment priority increased. All I can say to that is: No we can’t, and shame on you for even contemplating the morality of doing such a thing. That’s the very thing that makes me so much want to vomit when I think about the way some countries run their health care. Why would you tolerate, let alone want to, live in such a system?!
Demonoid please come back! I miss YOU!!
Same here!
I CAAAANNNTT LIVE WITHOUT YOU!
wow.. only 100 posts.. I thought there would be alot more than this..
I hope they can come back soon.
any chances of getting busted now? or should people with demonoid accounts worrie?
Looking for a lot of posts about demonoid going down? go at torrentfreak.com, about 500+ posts currentl
@z@ph0d
What about the outrageous amount of taxes that you pay in Canada for that so called “privilege” of only being able to accept medical care from a government sponsored agency?
Even the horrendous British system isn’t that restrictive that they forcibly prevent their citizens from purchasing medical care if they would like to.
@48
“What!?!!! This is preposterous! An organization trying to protect their interests from being robbed of their living!”
You ignorant, corporate tool. First of all, the CRIA has nothing to gain from this, it’s all power moves and chest-inflating. Secondly, I know I don’t know you, but I’m pretty sure you’re not as rich as Britney, Justin or 50. Yet you’re defending their and their labels right to make millions upon millions of dollars from people who barely stay above the poverty level. How many times have you spent hard-earned money on a crappy movie or cd? How many times have you felt like you wasted money? If you feel gyped learn to live with it because that’s your only choice. That industry does NOTHING to guarantee your satisfaction. Most stores have a no return policy on movies, music and books. So for years they’ve been tricking us into buying cd’s or getting us into movies knowing damn well they have a product that’s mediocre at best. Well, I got a bit sick of spending my money on crap with no guarantees, making myself poorer while the rich get filthy f’n rich. This is my payback. I’VE been robbed by “Hollywood” too many times. I don’t care if Tom Cruise doesn’t get his 35 cents because I downloaded one of his DVD’s (I probably wasn’t gonna buy it anyway). Besides, I as I’m sure others have, have enjoyed certain things I downloaded so much that I went and bought them. Like I said, I’ve been burned in the wallet too many times and this just allows me to weed out the crap I wouldn’t want to spend money on. Like ‘Hot Rod’.
@King of Cycling
Agree 100% with you there bud!
@z@ph0d
Well, one freedom you don’t have in Canada is to hold on to your own money. The government demands you give it to them so they can hand out subpar “free” healthcare to all 33 million citizens of Canada.
Come to America, where we allow people the freedom to decide for themselves if they would like to spend their money on health care or not. If you’d rather use your money to buy a new 60″ plasma tv instead of healthcare, you can. In Canada, you can not. Thats just one example, like you asked for.
@BrotherJustin
It’s a little different than that. If you order a dinner in a restaurant, and you don’t enjoy it, you can’t just ignore the check when the waiter brings it. You still have to pay.
Same thing with buying a movie or music, after you’ve watched or listened to it, you can’t just say “I don’t like it” and not pay. If that was an option, everyone would go to a movie theater and demand their money back on the way out after watching a movie.
And you said that defendeing the “labels right to make millions upon millions of dollars from people who barely stay above the poverty level.” is anything near reality?? The label doesn’t have a “right” to make any money at all, they offer a product for sale, and people have the choice to buy it or not.
And if someone is barely above the poverty line, they might make better choices to spend their money on than music and movies. In fact, if they watched less movies, they might have more time to make money and get out from under their poverty.
I don’t think the amount of money going to the government to pay for a Canadian persons health care can be compared to the price of a 60 inch plasma. Plus go watch SiCKO it compares all health cares to USA.
Blame Canada, Blame Canada, It’s Not A Real Country Anyway!
no loss for me, their account registering was always closed
I vote for a new encrypted P2P torrent protocol.
I vote that Oink, Demonoid, and The Pirate Bay
purchase an island and setup an independent country
and an independent ISP!
First down was Oink, next was Demonoid.
Which site is next?
@ lee welton
It would be so nice to live in a country like the USA, where only the wealthy can afford to pay for the insanely over priced cost of health care. I would love to live in a place were money comes before my health. It seems like such an ethical system. It would be great to live in a place were half the bankruptcy is caused by health care costs….It sounds like such a nice place to live.
Canadian’s have plenty of choice when it comes to health care. We can choose whichever doctor we want, and we can go where ever we want for treatment. The only thing the government is involved in is the payment. True we can’t choose a private insurance company, but why would I want to have a for-profit company screwing me as I’m lying in a hospital.
So with all the money I save I can go down to the States and buy that 60″ plasma. It’ll be half the price too, because the almighty US dollar isn’t so mighty. Then I can watch Corner Gas from my “free” hospital bed…. if I can find an open one.
@103 (Alfred) and 106 (lee):
Come on guys, I covered this one pro-actively. Read post 96 all the way to the bottom. Feel free to sound out the bigger words if they give you trouble.
And good luck affording that 60inch plasma TV after your cancer diagnosis – you’re gonna be in debt up to your eyeballs right up ’till you die. Or you could always just buy the TV, ignore the cancer, and die all the quicker. You can’t watch TV from the grave. Christ, even an appendectomy will put you in debt to the tune of a small house! Ya, great little system ya got there. Enjoy it.
Maybe someone should think about moving torrent sites to China, anything goes over here.
@ach:
That’s what I’m saying! Thanks for the confirmation. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who sees the obvious.
Having lived in both the States and Canada, I have to say on a purely anecdotal basis that I’ve always gotten far better and prompter care in Canada than in the U.S. So go ahead and make yourself feel better by pretending there’s no choice; it’s like car insurance, in the province I currently live in there’s only private car insurance but we get f**cked in the ass for it, whereas in B.C. the rates are faaaaar better and nicer to the consumers because of ICBC (a provincial crown corporation). So, yeah, they don’t get the choice. Thank gods I live in Alberta where we can can pay huge amounts of money to the provider of our choice, hooray!…..
Somehow I don’t think it’s a good idea to entirely deregulate essential/needed services. Look at the push by the ISPs against Net Neutrality, for example. The consumer doesn’t really have a choice, but if the CITIZEN could have an impact…. if it came down to a straw poll or a referendum I’m quite sure that there at very least wouldn’t be strong enough support in Canada to shut down torrent sites like Demonoid, but because even in this “socialist” (yeah right) country power in that sphere is in the hands of an industry organization rather than a governmental/democratically-based one sites that are even technically legal are being shut down. For shame. If Canada was really as communist and lefty then we wouldn’t be having these problems with Demonoid and other such sites (like the IMSLP; check it’s website or its wikipedia entry for THAT tale of industry triumphing over laws and individuals)!
canada is a country looking to always pleased his master,no matters who they are
before it was the queen now it is scharwzzengger
they should move TO SWEDEN. Pirate Bay is there and they cant be touched. Swedish laws allow p2p.
What I don’t get is that the CRIA has absolutely no legal right to shut down demonoid. The CRIA already agreed with the Canadian government that they would get a portion of the sales of all blank media sold in Canada in exchange for the revenue they would lose by people downloading music in Canada off sites like demonoid. They made their deal and now they want to ignore it cause they are greey bastards who want more money. Seriously demonoid should fight it in court because as I said they have no legal right to do this.
Wow – and just when I thought the statements couldn’t get any more idiotic. Thanks for raising the bar yet again robespierre. Your stupidity speaks for itself.
@lee welton
Why not take a look at “Sicko” and see how wonderful your health care are in USA.
Your government (The Nixon era) actually helped the company’s in the health care industry to rob you of your money if you get sick in USA. Yeah, thats really great.
Hope you enjoy your 60″ plasma tv while your dying of some simple decease, because you don’t afford the treatment.
take of hosers…long live Demonoid
@ z@ph0d
your loosing your time ,with stupid explanations,tell me how much
the canadian demography changed since the last 20 years,
this is not canada anymore,alberta is a u.s state rich of oil
ontario is an asian state now
take a walk outside after you paid your taxes,,
@121 SweRocks
yo-i would not brag about this too much,maybe we dont pay
but we dont have a first class system,,,remember sars in ontario
and now there is c difficile in the east coast hospital
why demonoid?
that was one of the best sites around.
I always used it.
And they think THIS will even dent online sharing? lol
Wow…this whole USA vs Canada thing is getting way out of hand. I think all of you idiots that feel the need to fight about which country is better need to realize what your debating for. Why are you debating (or fighting in some cases)? Do you honestly believe you’re going to convince anybody living in the US/Canada that the system in the opposing country is better?! Who cares?! Who cares if somebody is bashing your “perfect” healthcare system?! Let them be idiots, and live wherever you believe is better! There is no need to continue…why dont you stay on subject here?
@ desi
because demonoid is nuked,but its ok they are experementing
(merde il est ne dans un chou )
btw since their tracker is still online is there any way to dload the torrents from any other place (the actual torrent file i mean)
I sincerely hope that Demonoid returns,that stupid ban on canadians,also banned India and Mexico
BLAME CANADA!!!
http://movieimages.tripod.com/southpark/southpark14.jpg
Fail at image linking. I was mad at the ban on canadians since I was one but so I had this wish of hoping it went down and it came true ;_; I didn’t mean it I swear. Proxy :\
@Darth:
Never wanted a Canada vs US debate, much less a health care debate. When posters started attacking Canada and Canadians over this whole CRIA nonsense I simply challenged them to back up their claims. The best they could come up with was uninformed blasting of our taxes and health care. I don’t quite know how that arose from the initial question of us lacking basic freedoms. That was the initial statement that I challenged (and am still waiting on a valid response to if anyone actually has one). I’m not trying to claim any sort of superiority, just to disprove this unfounded claims.
“They need to move the servers to Africa or South America, some place where they have more worries than people sharing files with each other.”
One of those worries is not having the internet infrastructure or hosting services to be able to do such a thing.
Personally I can’t think of any worse place on earth than Africa.
Another one of those “worries” they have is will the US withhold the aid they depend on because of a policy decision they’ve taken which annoys the US.

“What I don’t get is that the CRIA has absolutely no legal right to shut down demonoid. The CRIA already agreed with the Canadian government that they would get a portion of the sales of all blank media sold in Canada”
The levy Canadians pay on blank media has absolutely nothing to do with Demonoid or the illegality of it’s operations.
The Canadian levy on CDs means nobody will be prosecuted for making a copy of a CD they own for personal use.
That’s it. Nothing more.
All P2P falls outside this exemption.
So they have as much legal right to get demonoid shut down in Canada as they would in the US.
All good things come to an end. Demonoid was the best out there for rare and hard to find torrents. Sigh. This leaves a dark day for us and for what? Ah, the almighty dollar, yes now I remember. I remember a time when I bought cassettes and actually taped music off this free thing called a radio without any reprecussions of either myself or the radio station getting shutdown. What’s next a house to house search for every recordable device in america?
Some words for non-internet loving companies: This is how it works. Whatever you sink, we build back up. Whomever you sue, ten new pirates are recruited. Wherever you go, we are already ahead of you. You are the past and the forgotten, we are the internet.
Demonoid was the best around and i hope Deimos will get it back up.
god why do people always start f*cking crying when a site gets shut down ?
“oh please come back demonoid i miss you”
god why do people always start f*cking crying when a site gets shut down ?
“oh please come back demonoid i miss you” thats just so dam lame
grow up and live a bloody real life instead of a life where you look at a bloody screen all the time and think the world is over cause some torrent sites are going under..
going out getting p*ssed and banging a bird after is far much better then sitting listening to all these site owners who think they can rule over bloody big people “roll my eyes”
once a site gets big it will get shut down simple as that since there is only so much you can do before you reach a dead end and thats when the big boys come knocking on your door
Demonoid site is very good, that’s why we miss it when we cannot use it.
I think all of you have to much time on your hand’s i personaly vote Bitnation.com FTW. And the Pirate Bay forits unique randomness for at lease you can find the stuff that noone wants there but it might be exactly what you need
Demonoid will return just like Godzilla does….no one defeats the zilla, so no one defeats the noid!
DEMONOID = TORRENT KING
Face it people, Demonoid is dead and gone.
It is NOT coming back.
Oh well OK then, if you say so… Why would you say so? You could be right, my money would be that it’s coming back, because most of them usually are back in a little bit. What do you have other than a generally pessimistic attitude to suggest they’re gone for good?
Why can’t I “bang a bird” and THEN stare at the screen for a bit? Or bang two birds, shoot some boy, drink a fifth, bang the bird’s sister, smoke a blunt, Drive drunk in my monster truck, go to a European “disco”, milk a cow and THEN whine about demonoid. Would I be cool then?

Would avoid China, they seem to have a rather final appraoch to law and order; a bullet in the back of the head seems to be popular (with the authorities!) – and they charge your family for the bullet.
PS: Shame about Demonoid though. Hope they find a new home soon, they do a great job. May they rise from the ashes like the phoenix.
For all you saying it wont come back, just look at what happened with SuprNova! Of course it is going to come back. The real debate is whether it will still be the Demonoid we all remember or not…I just cant see Demonoid as being a public tracker…
i need a torrentleech invite
Jeez wake up people!!! these are the same old tired moans and groans that have been going down since Napster (original) it happens … and you can bet there will be an alternative by the time Bittorrent has passed it’s use by date
I would advice you to operate in sweden or something where they dont have theese stupid laws ;P Hope you come up soon
In my opinion, “I’ve been in the scene since several years before general population ever heard of an MP3″ Piracy will never stop, I dont mean to brag but I DL every piece of media that sparks my interest, too many have the taste of free media of their lips and fact is, for every educated and trained codec technician attempting to generate a copy protection scheme, there is 500 people out here which may not only have more training and education, but are far smarter than anybody who does it for a living. To the leaders of the video industry> Learn from the music industry, you cannot win, all that money could go toward lowering the final retail cost of the material, if that where to happen, I would definitely purchase more DVD’s and HD content. It can be a PITA to do some of these trans-code’s I would rather buy a final product, but not at these prices and absolutely not with the reported final profit margins these production/manufacturing companies keep!

when comes demoniod back anyone any news
What the hell is wrong with those Candians anyway? I mean we let them LIVE on this continent don’t we? American hasn’t forcibly invaded Canada and taken their beer or pot! I can just picture hundreds of mounties charging in to swoop down on those servers that provide us Americans so much pirated pleasure. LOL. Anyway, I love Demonoid and hope it’s back this time. As a matter of fact, I’m going to make it a point to actually donate to them if it gets running. I was using a free account for the longest time, and honestly you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone (insert your cliche’ here). Where the heck am I going to get my British television shows in almost real time until then?!
F the CRIA. I hope they get crabs, ebola or something worse.
I don’t know what the big deal is if some people downloading some music,movies,etc. These Artist’s are always preaching to us all that we should use our God Given tallents to give back to the community,country, and world without financial compensation, so what the hell are they crying about? Why can’t practice what they preach? Maybe they can’ get both of their faces to agree. Demonoid should look into moving to Nicaragua,Honduras,or El Salvador. They really don’t regulate much of anything down there.
