RIP: Demonoid

[Westbrook]

Yup. Another one bites the dust. Tough month. First OiNK and now this.

What kind of world is this where I can't get any media I want totally free?

[alterion]

demonoid will be back pretty soonish, its only been threatened not actually raided

[its swanny]

it's really not that hard to find torrents online.

i've never used demonoid or oink or any of those and have found everything i've ever needed.

just google "(thing you want) torrent" and you're fine.

[ProfMonnitoff]

Oh fuck... now i REALLY need a waffles account.

"things you want" "torrent"

BOOYAH!

[notesee]

The torrent game is done

[MyAcademy]

"thing you want" ext:torrent

or

"thing you want" filtetype:torrent

If its music, there are better operators to use, but you're all smart dudes so it shouldn't be too tough.

[its swanny]

blah blah blha.

just saying, it's easy to find anything you want/need.

In other news I went on What.cd at 4am today and found a pop-upo from the RIAA, which apparently hacked them, leaving a message that "we have your information" and "your sentence will be halved if you turnh yourself in"

What's currently set to brb, and apparently it isn't a big deal because their server's in Sweden or something. Still, it's scary how fast RIAA is going after this. I can't wait to see how they deal when people start setting up servers in the Cayman islands.

It's some stupid hackers, thats not riaa. "Your sentence will be halved" that made me laugh.

[Guest DUM]

apparently someone also hacked what.cd and put some shock image as well, they apologized.

[Servo2000]

Torrent game might be done. I wouldn't be surprised if the RIAA / Copyright nazis hit hard and fast this time, they might be trying to beat the whole "for every one you take down we'll make three" system. I don't think they will, but I wouldn't be surprised.

What.cd has been a joke so far. It's been down two out of every three times I go to look for something. Probably more often than that, even.

Piratebay people are working on a new distribution form by my understanding. Conceptually like torrents I believe, but they seem to think that it's the next step.

[polishmike]

You can encrypt torrents and make users pretty much undetectable. It's been available for some time now and some people use it. Torrent game won't die. Torrents will just grow into personal networks that will still work on the same protocol. Sooner than later RIAA will give up cause they won't be able to keep up or they won't get enough funding or both. I also predict that in 10 years copyrights on digital audio/video will either disappear or become obsolete.

[BodiesOfLight]

Pisexy is still going strong, granted it's just movies/TV/Etc. Still a great place for that.

Also, I still use DC++. Can find most, but not all of what I look for.

Could you elaberate on this?

[jummych00]

Torrents are ok but the best shit is the old skool FTP sites from the IRC days. Get yourself on a private FTP with 0 sec and 0day access and you''ll never download from a torrent again.

And yup, thank god for Canada because we don't have an RIAA organization type that sues 50 year moms for downloading 10 mp3's.

[Leumas]

smh I just got Demonoid like 2 weeks ago!

Well good thing i got waffles a week ago. Invites are coming soon!

honestly, i do not think that the current situation with copyrights will naturally or eventually fall away. industry lobbyists will continue to get ignorant and short-sighted politicians on their side to uphold if not out-right have the white house serve their interests (see Steal This Film).

to get this stuff done, to really dismantle the current form of copyright laws/enforcement, folks really have to get organized...and most of all the public along w/ politicians have to be informed about what exactly the debate is...this is already happening in sweden apparently. it could happen in the US esp since RIAA is still in the process of suing single mums who earn 30k/year.

[ProfMonnitoff]

yeah no doubt 0sec FTPs are better than torrents but most of us don't have access to that kind of shit. i used to use IRC through packetnews but the ftps on there were usually a few links down the chain.

but by all means if someone has a 0sec ftp hookup i wouldn't mind.

honestly it's just becoming too difficult to maintain. it's becoming less and less viable to enforce a lot of copyrights than it is to let that take care of itself. honestly there are better solutions out there...

honestly copyrights/enforcement of copyright on digital video and audio wasnt a good idea in the first place. i'm all for making money but the shit is just fucking impossible. it's difficult to privatize these goods...always. before the internet there was taping. before taping there was crowdin around a bunch of people to watch one teevee set. before that poor people only heard (free) folk music and saw local (extremely cheap or free) shows.
