I can see that there are some bad sides to Demonoid. I have seen the site but never used it. That said there are 20 or more bit torrent sites that are up and running. I agree, the illegal items should not be on the site. However, quite a few things are put on the site that are legal. Perhaps, Demonoid is only the is only the carrier but they would win more people over by policing it more thoroughly...

Disagreeing with piracy is fine and good, but the outrage is a little unjustified, don't you think?
In response to the original poster, I personally hope that Demonoid will come back. Most people don't know because they've never looked, but there's a lot of great (and very legal) content on the big torrent sites. I think it's unfortunate that the sites are used for so much illegal activity, but the tool shouldn't be blamed for the crime. Torrent sites themselves (most of them, anyway) don't actively promote piracy or theft of any sort. They're just an open means of sharing what you have. Their fault is that they're good at what they do. |
