Demonoid Shut Down by the CRIA

[Novindu]

"TorrentFreak contacted some of the Demonoid administrators, but they are not sure what happened either. It is certainly possible that Demonoid’s Canadian ISP pulled the plug after being pressured by the CRIA. The Demonoid server is still pinging, but the ISP could have firewalled the everything after they received some serious legal threats. Deimos, the founder and the head admin of the site is unreachable and has not responded yet.
This is not the first time Demonoid suffers major downtime due to pressure from the anti-piracy lobby. Demonoid had to move its servers from The Netherlands to Canada in June after The Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN filed a subpoena against Demonoid’s ISP.

Unfortunately, it now seems that Canada is not the “safe haven” as they expected it to be."

Trackerless torrents are needed soon. Otherwise shutting down torrent trackers will be a method to cripple the bittorrent network.

Canada is not a "haven", nor are Scandinavian Countries. There was a news that piratebay is going to buy an island and declare it as a new country. Then they are going to shift their servers there to enjoy full liberty.

Nothing to worry about. It's just a rumour.
