Demonoid Domain Names Up For Grabs 293
hypnosec writes "One of the most famous Torrent tracking sites, Demonoid, which was shut down recently by Ukrainian authorities, is on the receiving end of one more blow, as the domain names for the site are up for grabs. As it stands, three Demonoid domains: Demonoid.me, Demonoid.com and Demonoid.ph are up for sale on Sedo. The time is ripe as of now for the sale of the domain names as it has caught the attention of many on and off the web. The traffic that Demonoid used to attract was huge, and internet marketers would definitely want to bank on this. Initially thought of as being under a series of DDoS attacks, the torrent tracking site was out for a prolonged duration, following which it started serving malware-laden ads."

Sounds like shady marketers would be the only ones who would actually want it, after all for the rest of us it's just an open invitation for various agencies to start digging for dirt on us. If getting caught for torrenting small amounts of pirated goods is about as likely as getting hit by lightning, then buying this domain would be akin to climbing up onto the highest building around during a lightningstorm wearing your special copper-clad "protection from girls +3" homemade armour and swinging a long copper rod angrily at the skies.

I would highly suggest the university library. You will have to leave your chair though.
