It would appear that after an absence of almost 6 months that the Demonoid tracker is back with us again. It was taken offline in November 2007 after some problems with hosting, but now both the website and the tracker are back up.

If you had an existing account then it will still work, as it looks like they’ve managed to preserve all the old data too.

Popular torrent sharing site Demonoid.com has finally been shut down. Instead of the site is simply a message that reads,

“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.”

This is not the first time they have been shut down but it remains to be seen whether this will be the last

The Pirate Bay has somehow managed to acquire the domain ifpi.com which used to belong to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the infamous anti-piracy agency. Quite how they acquired the domain is not quite clear but in an interview with torrent freak Pirate Bay admin Brokep simply said
“It’s not a hack, someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it’s ours and we’re keeping it.”
He wants to use the site to spread pirate interests
“The International Federation of Pirate Interests (IFPI) is the new international federation we’re starting in order to get the word of piracy spread.”

So there you go, what happens next remains to be seen.

Cheers
