Per the article:"The nightmare week for Demonoid has just reached a huge crescendo, with news coming out of Ukraine that following a massive DDoS attack the site has now been busted by local authorities. Those looking for a U.S. connection to the raid won’t be disappointed – a source in the country’s Interior Ministry says that the action was scheduled to coincide with Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky’s trip to the United States."

This is not good.. I was a member of Demonoid, and I certainly hope that my account on it will not be used against me, but I doubt it at the same time as my only ID is an E-mail address, because I havent been on demonoid in forever.

That said, our gov't decided since Megaupload is gonna blow up in their face, they needed to switch tactics

I was a member as well, but I barely used the tracker anymore anyway.
It sucks, but this is how the next round of pointless crackdowns has to take place.
The sooner we stop depending on websites for BT, the better.

Well BitGamer and UnderGround Gamer aren't going under anytime soon, nor theisozone.com. I think Tor is the next step, as we can easily go underground like SilkRoad and use Tor for magnet links. From there it will be harder for US authorities to bust, as Tor is pretty secure and if a site is busted, it will merely encourage Tor developers to expand the network. There is always Usegrab as well.

But I won't deny my piracy habit, but I never pirate actively sold Amiga software as that is cruel. No I use it as try before I buy and if I like it enough I will buy it if the price is reasonable.
