RIP Demonoid

[defcon]

Hopefully reports of its death will be greatly exaggerated. :(

[Spirit Juice]

Didn't it just die a couple weeks ago?

[Gasp]

yea
and its dead again.
MAN
if it comes up again.
im gonna go on a d/l spree before the next inevitable lawsuit.

[bill_rizer]

lol damn they got shutdown fast, glad I dont have this trouble at bitme.

Demonoids going to end up like Lik-Sang using all their cash on lawsuits untill their in the ground, I figure these big companies know that and keep taking them to court, the little man never wins.

The interesting thing about the Demonoid case is that a judge has said that such peer-to-peer exchanges are legal in Canada. See: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2004/03/31/download_court040331.html

I'm more concerned with the death of albumbase.

Hmmm interesting read, that actually makes sense.

So why did they get shutdown this time?

The music industry makes me laugh sales arent crap because of DL's its because you're music is shit, plus with things like myspace people are being open to alot more indie bands, who let you have their music for free.

Really the music industry needs to get with the times, itunes is a step in that way but they need to wise up, its getting to the stage where people dont want physical copies or are atleast not as interested in getting a CD or whatever unless its a band/MC you really like.

the other day i tried to buy an album via itunes that i was hyped on, and respected the artist a lot so i figured i'd pay for it. then it turns out _that_ album can't be downloaded in japan, only from a computer with an american ip. lol ggpo itunes. dl that shit from now on

[MadGaffler]

........well, if it comes back im gonna go on a downloading spree and fuck my ratio to hell. It's better to burn up then to fade away!

[The Fireboy]

Shit..that was like..my main torrent site for misc shit. I don't feel like sorting through Mininovas random bullshit again. :sad:

[RockBogart]

Isohunt was better anyway. Bullshit no porn policy.

[TheSix]

There is still a huge list of better alternatives. I JUST now found out torrentspy was shut down(but got what I wanted on the next site).

Oh shit so it's not just my computer.

Damn damn damn :sad:

since when?

[Serpent]

I dunno. It takes time to get seeders and variety on a torrent site. The only 2 major ones I use now are isohunt and thepiratebay. What else are you using? I google for torrents sometimes and that works pretty well too, but it's nice to have a good site to browse sometimes.

[Strider Hiryu]

isnt mininova still up?

[phae]

mininova is still up

[ytwojay]

Torrentspy, Oink, What, Demonoid... ugh.

[Figcoinc]

Well there is always piratebay and suprnova....which is owned by TPB.

They'll never shut down for anyone.......at least for now.

[TheSix]

I remember how suprnova was EVERYONES shit. Then it got shut down. Then it came back and no one cared(or didn't know).

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

dang all of these sites are getting busted...its really scaring me...

[Pablo_the_Mex]

The problem with torrents is that is that they are so goddamned easy to use and mainstream nowadays. There is always IRC.

[Shukuda]

Music hosted on various free file hosting sites ftw. Not so sure about you guys, but the type of music I listen has lots of users uploading new releases on free file hosts. Torrent is the last resort, absolute last.

The problem with irc is that you have to pay for servers sometimes and of course no one wants to wait in a queue.

I thought peer to peer was good to go in Canada though?

[MAGUS1234]

absolute last cause its so easy?

[phae]

absolute last cause its so easy?

nah I am with this guy. I find IRC easier than torrents. Torrents can be poorly seeded if you're looking for hard to find things.

oh shit, supernova's back?? a blessing in these dark times.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

Yeah queues can suck, but for the most part they are pretty damn reliable.

[Akutabi Gamma]

By any chance do their Torrents still work if I download them?

[BlodiaVulcan5]

yes they should, demonoid, iirc, just indexes them.

[Septimus Prime]

Hi, iTunes is garbage. Fuck DRM.

[ckrazy]

so what the next big thing?

[Mr. Bastos]

By any chance do their Torrents still work if I download them?

yeah they should, I had one I got last night and it still worked this morning
