Demonoid Torrent Tracker Shut Down by CRIA

An anonymous reader writes "As of Tuesday, 25th September 2007, Demonoid is currently down, with no prior warnings from any moderators of the site. Both the main torrent page and the forum (fora) are no longer accessible. It is still possible to ping and trace the IP address of the site and it locates itself as in Canada. As of 6:45pm EST on 9-25-07, SSH and SMTP services are no longer active. Torrentfreak.com has since reported this is due to legal actions from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) who ordered Demonoid's ISP to shut down the site."

No, just the RIAA, but in Canada, eh?

Couldn't resist

I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I for one welcome our new dyke fingering overlords.

I'm sure dykes are just as outraged about DRM as anyone else. But why pick them?

Fingering the dyke? The CRIA is more like a c*ck up the arse.

There really is no way to tell the truth in the story without getting someone from demonoid to talk about it...

...or you could tell me where the server is located. I live in central Canada, so I could just waltz over there and check it for you. It's not like Canada is very big and I can use my dogsled. Problem solved.

This action is akin to putting a finger in the dyke, but there are thousands

A dyke is a lesbian. A dike is a dam. No one read the rest of your post because they were distracted by thoughts of lesbians.

If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards ... Checkmate.

And as far as comments and moderation go, Digg's level of discourse is about what you'd expect from an MMORPG.

Oh, you meant something else. So sorry. ;)

Re:Finger in the dyke...

[Poromenos1]

This action is akin to putting a finger in the dyke, but there are thousands, if not millions of other holes.

I would appreciate it if you could point me to the direction of an available one.

If you could say Hi to my cousin on the way that would be awesome. He also lives in Canada.

Re:Finger in the dike...

[Anonymous Coward]

actually that is not true, look it up in a dictionary and you'll see that dike and dyke are synonims.

Though synonims and synonyms aren't synonyms.

If it was in Australia us New Zealanders would simply walk over the harbour bridge and say "Oh hi, I upgraded your RAM" or something equally pithy.
