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.

Wow, Oink then the Demon, a bad month indeed...

Fools.

I was downloading a Nevermore discography, to decide whether it'd be worth buying the remastered Enemies of Reality, and Dream in Neon Black.

Until I download full album copies so I can listen to them thoroughly, I won't be buying them.

Their loss.

Tee hee.

I wonder if there is a market for some sort of web site that would listen to albums for you, and write reviews of them, for people interested in knowing the quality of an album before they buy it. Such a web site might even have clips of songs, or even full, selected songs, for you to listen to yourself.

Oh wait...

Given the immense scale of the universe, could it be that bananas exist on other planets?

If only they'd had the 100% legal torrents in a different server, separate from the contentious torrents, we Linux ISO downloaders wouldn't have to suffer this loss.

If other people had any taste at all, I'd be enjoying the fifth season of Firefly right now.

At first I thought the title of this thread was 'Demonhood is GONE!'. The OP made a lot more sense when I realized what it actually said...

I actually thought that's what it was going to be about, too.

hahaha.

I've never considered movies worth stealing, honestly. I can get most movies on DVD for 13-15 or less. Plus the amount of download time, the hassle of encoding it to DVD and all that black magic...It's just easier to buy.

It's amazing how people still don't understand that piracy doesn't always do harm.

Get a freakin' clue.

I've had people steal my "intellectual property" (i.e., thoughts) before. As it turns out, I had just as much afterward as I did before, which really makes the word "stolen" somewhat inappropriate. (I've also had things of mine actually stolen, so I have a reference point there.)

It's not "stealing" at all. It's not even similar. There is no deprivation of property.

I'd either download it, or not have it at all.
If there is any creativity in something I'm sure the creator would prefer the former of those two things.

downloading ≠ stealing

'Tis a sad day. I got a lot of videos off of Demonoid I couldn't see any other way.
