Before we start this discussion i must inform you that demonoid is an illegal file sharing site that has recently been closed down for the fourth time because the country they have there servers in has deemed them illegal and shut them down this is the 4th country to do so.

As soon as they closed you noticed this influx of people joining other sites looking for what they you used to get on demonoid. Moaning because there precious site has gone, posting messeges because they were spoilt for choice there and now they might have to actually pay for what they want.

The fact is closing demonoid has fractured the whole torrent community which is a good thing is most repects except for the person posting legal material such as music mixes, AND LEGAL TORRENTS ect.

My question is - is closing Demonoid a good first step towards stoping illegal material & copyright material being shared since its the main site for such things? and is this the end of the torrent?
