...why are people taking issue with demonoid and/or demios..
...it patently says that it was an issue with the host that caused the site to go down, ie... the hosting company was threatened and complied with the treat and took the site down.
..or alternativley demonoid took the site down BEFORE the host did in order to avoid a seziure of the servers and the loss of subscriber data.
..i have a feeling it will be back too as soon as alternate arrangements can be maade...

No because when you put a patent on it it becomes govt. property think about it ninty nine percent of people dont pay patent tax's
and if you released you work to RIAA or The MPAA they own your work they can copyright it as long as they wish, by doing the following for instance Elvis presley christmas music they then extend there copyright laws for his music.
the RIAA is A Plage that stops younger generations of people from listing to once great artist

No issue with Demios here.. It's up to him what he does with his site.. It's the same for any site owner..
Sites come and go, It happens I'm a member of more than one torrent site anyway. You would be surprised what a different place TPB is when you have member rights.

Well demonoid was already (supposedly) unavailable to Canadian users since the last time it came back, so what the *bleep*. Why does the CRIA have such a *bleep* problem with this *bleep*, like whose going to pirate Canadian music anyway. I'm making the assumption that my fellow pirates are not the kind of people who download Avril Lavigne.

Okay, well after reading all of those comments and being a die hard Demonoid member, I had to give AfterDawn my two cents.
Demonoid is my homepage. I would wake up to see how good my ratio has increased because that is basically my way of showing Demonoid how much I really care about the site.
Take all the torrent sites you want; torrentreactor.net, tpb.com, mininova.org, NOTHING will even compare to Demonoid. Why? Demonoid started as a worldwide creation that eventually evolved into every country in the world. Look @ Demonoid! There isn't a THING you cannot find on Demonoid. Album's, movie's, programs, WHATEVER. I think that is definitely one of the biggest reasons everyone turns to Demonoid prior to any other torrent site.
..Also as I said above, I loved lookin' @ my ratio to see how much better it got. I believe that is one of the many reasons that people turn to Demonoid because a lot of other torrent sites don't show you how much you share/seed. Why do you think on TPB there are like 1500 leechers and "200" seeders? There is no ratio! No one can show others just how much they have been sharing! Also Demonoid never tolerated bogus torrents or torrents that were infected. That's what I LOVED about Demonoid.
Will Demonoid be back? Only the Deimos know. My personal opinion, until they move those servers to a country that doesn't give a damn about copyright laws, Demonoid will see it's demise.
Long live Demonoid!

Thats true, if they have lets say a TV show that has not come one DVD. Is this still stealing or pirating? If someone uploads last nights 1980 TV show and uploads it. Why can't that be allowed. If they are not going to put them for sale. Let other people have them this way.
