Sam.

They aint gone. According to someone who visited their IRC channel and spoke to one of the admins they are just down at the moment.

Did seem strange that no-one was making any comments on the story which made it seem like a rumour rather than fact.

...still.....I have one of those uneasy feelings I haven't had since the last decent one went under....

Demonoid IS NOT DEAD!


p2pnet news | P2P:- Reports to the contrary notwithstanding, Demonoid hasn’t been killed by Canada’s RIAA.

Demonoid down, p2pnet reported yesterday, going on:

The CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association of America), Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA clown (sorry, clone), is noted more for its failures, which are legion, than its successes, which are few.

However, it may have scored against BitTorrent tracker Demonoid.

We went on to quote Torrentfreak in The Netherlands as the source and today, when you go to http://demonoid.com/, you still get: “The connection has timed out”.

So is this because the CRIA was able to intimidate Demonoid’s ISP?

No, says Demonoid. It’s down, but not out.

“May have” was the operative phrase and, “Ok folks, here it is,” says a chat log with Torrentfreak’s Ernesto, going on:

Demonoid is down. It has been for around 2 day almost. The reason is down is unknown, and is still unknown. It HASNN’T beam RAIDed, shutdown, terminated, deleted, burned, mamed, all thrown under a bridge. There had been speculation as demonoid,com whereabouts, well, the rurmors are false.

The chat goes on to seriously slag Torrentfreak for reporting the CRIA was behind Demonoid’s alleged demise and correctly concludes:

Just for the record, the CRIA (despite the name) does NOT represent Canadian artists, and the Canadian music industry. It is an AMERICAN Association based in Canada to represent the RIAA here.

Actually, guys, it isn’t even American.

The CRIA, RIAA and all the other alphabet Big 4 organised music cartel organisations around the world are run by EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France) and Sony BMG (Japan and Germany), with Warner Music bringing up the rear as the only US label. And even that’s run by a Canadian.

Meanwhile, a lot of people will be relieved to know Demonoid isn’t dead and will be eagerly looking forward to its early return.

So stay tuned.

(Thanks, Rob)
