Demonoid Down Again by CRIA

Earlier in September the CRIA has sent a subpeona to Deimos to deny all Demonoid web traffic from Canadian Users. They were back up and most of us were able to get around this issue.

Well as of morning November 9th, Demonoid is again shutdown by the CRIA. Demonoid's website has been replaced with a new message on the all too familiar white times new roman webpage. This time, it has been shutdown for all users.
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.
It looks like Canada is no longer the safe haven for P2P as we were always thought. I wonder how ISOHunt, who's hosting server is also in Canada, is not getting the same attention that Demonoid is getting.

Not sure if Demonoid will be back online anytime soon. Damn, and I was uploading some new content for a better ratio too...
