Steve Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers has allegedly been taken offline by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). Both the tracker and the website have been unresponsive for nearly 24 hours now.http://torrentfreak.com/demonoid-shut-down-by-cria-070925/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Yep, I think you're right. One of the site admins told a guy on another site I visit that it's just normal down time. There was no take down. Just web rumours I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 It seems there is some truth to the rumours after all: - We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and we need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.Taken from Demonoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ughh, are there any other decent torrent sites like demonoid? that sucks, my ratio was like 280 gigs uploaded to 30 downloaded, I thought I'd be able to download forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasface Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 seems like bullshit still.. the cria is really the same as the ria, it's not a canadian division or something. the music coalition in canada is the real one, i don't get why they'd block canadians because of the ria getting on them about it. the cria is nearly non-existent.
