Torrent site Demonoid Raided & Shut Down By Authorities

Demonoid is one of the largest trackers online and today Demonoid has been busted by the copyright cops.

ColoCall, the largest data center in Ukraine and Demonoid’s home, was forced to shut down the site after investigators arrived mid last week and forced them to shut it down according to TorrentFreak: “Investigators have copied all the information from the servers Demonoid and sealed them, Some equipment was not seized, but now it does not work, and we were forced to terminate the agreement with the site.”

Even though ColoCall blocks all Ukrainian IP addresses to adhere to the country’s copyright laws, authorities got involved most likely to please the United States since Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky of Ukraine is visiting the US and plans on talking about copyright infringement.

The Demonoid admin team is thought to live in Mexico, so perhaps if a backup exists the site could still rise again.
