Demonoid shares a grave with OiNK

.:Bloody Hell:.

Following OiNK`s takedown on October 23rd the firmly gripping hand of the law in Canada apparently threatened the company who rented their servers to Demonoid`s staff, one of the biggest (semi) public torrent trackers, so the staff was forced to take down the tracker "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."
Prolly inspired by OiNK -if you don`t know: the biggest music tracker and prolly the biggest takedown since Napster- a lot of torrent trackers are being shut down with proportionally even more being opened. I personally did not like Demonoid but it was a fast source for stuff but it`s open-to-the-world policy may be what brought it in this situation.

yeah that`s right for every torrent tracker that goes down ten more get opened up!

The big problem in here is the fact that almost half of the torrents uploaded on Mininova.org were downloaded from Demonoid so that is a problem for most of Mininova.org users...
