Sad news about Demonoid

Post by Poolzer »

They fought a great battle throughout the years against 'the man', moving from continent to continent, but unfortunately power and politics beats out illegal in the end.

On August 3, 2012, Ukraine's Interior Ministry announced that the site was taken down the night before its First Deputy Prime Minister Valeriy Khoroshkovsky arrived in the U.S. to discuss matters with United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk. One of the issues on the docket was, unsurprisingly, intellectual property rights. In fact, this was the first matter mentioned in their joint statement, which was released by the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

On August 6, 2012, Ukrainian authorities shut down Demonoid manually from Ukraine's largest data center ColoCall.

All domains are now for sale to the highest bidder.

But while Demonoid’s servers are in custody, the site’s admin does not appear to be. The ColoCall source would not say who is behind the site, only that its management is located in Mexico. The devil may yet be back….
Bleed the day.
