Demonoid.com Shut Down - again - by CRIA
As of 06:00am EST, the website at demonoid.com and demonoid.cc are showing the following message:
The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.
This is not the first time Demonoid has been shut down. In September of 2007, Demonoid.com was shut down without warning, and remained offline for over a week with no explanation. Ultimately, it was revealed that the company hosting the Demonoid servers had caved to pressure from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) and had shut down access to the Demonoid servers.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the same case, this time, although it is believed that the Demonoid administrators took the site down, semi-willingly, rather than be forced offline as before. It is unknown whether or not the site administrators will attempt to re-open at a later date. Demonoid.com administrators could not be reached for comment.
As of 6:30am EST, the demonoid tracker still reports a status of “working” on seeded torrents, although several seeders are reporting no connected peers and no upload traffic for the past several hours.
