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."

Demonoid was a decent site.
The Sedo link returns a 404, so much for that submission.

Yeah Its fucking bizare the movie industry is still doing this.
I havent pirated an album in years thanks to itunes more or less solving the music availability puzzle for me. I can afford to blow a tenner here or there for a decent album, and now I do.
But netflix is blocked, hula is blocked, itunes has terrible movie availability here, and AMV etc just do the shitty "Not available in your region" crap.
What other options do we have in australia? Sweet fuck all. So australians pirate movies.
Surely fixing that problem should be a priority but this shits being going on for the better part of a decade.
Shoot the lawyers, offer the services here, problem solved the studios get fat cash and we get to have the movies and TV shows we want.

Generally speaking university libraries are open to the public. I went to a private university in the North East and any member of the public was free to read books in the library and only requirements to check one out were to have some form of state ID to get a library card.

According to a Russian newspaper, Kommersant [wikipedia.org], there was a source in the Ukranian ministry confirming that the raid was scheduled to coincide with the Prime Ministerâs trip to the United States, where he would be discussing copyright infringement.
I think it could not be more clear, even if the "source" is fake.

Your problem is probably the same as ours (in NZ). Foxtel (or Sky, here). I assume they own the content market in Australia as well? And they likely keep spouting how they aren't the reason content is unavailable or slow?
And the other reason - the pipes into your country are likely as expensive as ours. Unfortunately, you can blame NZ for that as the Southern Cross Cable is majority owned by Telecom NZ, but I hear you guys have a couple of other pipes as ours. We actually had someone from Netflix come to NZ just to tell us that they will never launch here because bandwidth is too slow and expensive.
