Canadians have killed Demonoid!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

And just when I finally managed to register... :( :evil:

These people are idiots. Do they think they can stop people from illegally downloading stuff? They close down a torrent site, 2 more open on untraceble servers. It's like fighting the Hydra, and equally pointless. I get it that they are under constant pressure from (mainly) the CD/DVD companies, but they should realize it's a fight they can never win. Even if they'd close down all USA/EU servers, there'd be always countries who didn't sign their treaty and would allow the hosting of said sites. Gah.

Hopefully, demonoid will be back online soon.

I doubt it's coincidence...

http://tech.transindex.ro/?hir=5234 (granted, it's in hungarian...)

"... but yesterday, more then 80 computers were confiscated by the Hungarian police, belonging to the greatest hungarian torrent-servers and warez sites, including BitHUmen, Moobs, Insane, Evolution and Revolution."

Maybe it's a coordinated effort between countries? We can wait and see if maybe this happens in other countries too.
