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.
Demonoid was a very popular BitTorrent tracker.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia -
On September 25, 2007 the Demonoid website, forums and Bittorrent trackers went offline. On September 29, 2007 the Demonoid trackers came back online, although the main site remained offline. On September 30, 2007 at approximately 18:00 GMT the main site came back online. The official explanation as stated on Demonoid was as follows:
"We received a letter from a lawyer representing the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and we need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.[6]
Over the next few days the website continued experiencing intermittent downtime until coming back to full functionality on October 2, 2007. Visitors from Canadian-based IPs continue to be redirected to the same downtime message which cited legal threats from the CRIA as the reason for the block. This is in spite of Judge Konrad von Finckenstein of the Federal Court ruling in March 2004 that such peer-to-peer exchanges were legal in Canada.[7] Despite Demonoid's claims, the CRIA has neither confirmed nor denied their involvement.
Currently, as of November 9, 2007, the website displays only this message:
In addition to this, the tracker doesn't operate."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."[8]
