Torrent Tracker Demonoid.com Taken Offline

By Scott Gilbertson EmailSeptember 26, 2007 | 8:52:16 AMCategories: P2P

demonoid.jpgThe popular Demonoid.com, a semi-private BitTorrent tracker, has been taken offline. Both the torrent tracker and the site have been unresponsive for over twenty-four hours. Although there has been no official word, or statement from the Demonoid administrators, TorrentFreak claims that the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) is responsible for the downtime, but the CRIA has refused to comment (see update below).

TorrentFreak reports that it contacted some of the Demonoid administrators, but even they are not yet sure what happened to the site.

If it does turn out to be the CRIA, this won’t be the first time Demonoid has suffered major downtime due to pressure from the recording industry. Earlier this year Demonoid moved its servers from The Netherlands to Canada after a Dutch anti-piracy group filed a subpoena demanding the site’s ISP remove Demonoid and cough up the administrator’s identities. –Read the entire article here at Wired
