this may be a good thing for Canadians casue not maybe Demonoid might move their servers to a different country and start allowing Canadian users to access the site! …..Maybe

Oddly enough u may be right although it was pretty easy to still visit the site via a proxy of course.

I’m pretty sure Demonoid will come back. I hope they find a safer country than Canada to host from.

This is bullshit. I really hope sweden never gives into the bs other countries have. If I ran a country and some bastard from the RIAA called me up and said “this violates US copyright law #190342342 (some made up number)… I would laugh and tell him to kiss my ass. I think it’s ridiculous that the US thinks it owns the world… and that every country must obey it’s law. Canada should be ashamed. If I were in government there I’d have the CRIA shut down.

Well it’s not always that simple jamyour41. U.S. movie and music lobbies probably knows how to press you where it hurts.. or at least the assumption is such. For example they pressured Russia to clamp down on piracy (allofmp3.com) if they’re to be inducted into WTO. Here’s an article that talks about it:

Unfortunately with Canada having such a close if unwanted connection with the US if the US says jump financially Canada does they know that if the US decided to REALLY put the pressure on they could make life difficult and for the CRIA to pressure an ISP to shut down a website that while technically legal is unfortunately involved in a legal ‘grey area’ the Canadian gov’t and the ISP aren’t going to cry too loudly self preservation again a fantastic motivator. As you say Demonoid may just move abroad which would solve a few problems on one level but which would create problems on another would they have to move the WHOLE operation to Sweden or could they run it from Canada and use servers in Sweden this still involves Canadian ISP’s controlling the Swedish servers catch 22 it seems. A shame though and a sad loss as Demonoid was clean (no porn no dodgy ad’s etc.) and probably one of the safest to use.

Recording artists hate the sound of 192 KB/s .mp3 files. Even CD is a bit ruff as the doggie said when asked it’s opinion.
