Visitors to BitTorrent Tracker site Demonoid.com over the last several hours have been greeted by the following message:
"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."
In September the site was forced to move its servers to Canada from The Netherlands, where they were under attack from Dutch copyright enfocement agency BREIN. Since that time, the Canadian equivalent to the RIAA, the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) has been working to have the servers shut down. In September the site was down for a week, and when they returned they no longer accepted connections from Canadian users.
