We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and We need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. If you reside in Canada, that is the reason you are being redirected to this message. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.


Stupid CRIA. A proxy can get around it, but the server gives a "too busy" error.


Yes, I searched, and found a million threads, but the latest one didn't have anything on it being back up.


In order to make this thread kosher around here, it's purpose is to discuss CRIA/censorship, not invites/torrents/apps/etc.

hah wow the CRIA actually did something, I'm truly suprised.

Pressured by the RCMP to keep billions of dollars safe.

I'm going to be very suprised if this isn't overturned, after all the supreme court ruled that sharing of intellectual property wasn't illegal right?

They didn't shut down p2p services here, so why are they blocking demonoid?

heh, the RCMP proving what an absolute joke of a "police" force they are.

Regarding the ruling on MP3's, if demonoid allows the users in Canada to upload the MP3's, then this is illegal (which they obviously do). You can leech, but you cant share.
