After nearly six month offline, Demonoid is back. The best of the bit torrent sites has finally returned. Many people have been praying for this to happen since none of the other torrent sites are as user friendly, or contain as extensive a library of items as Demonoid. I know many people will want to run out and buy one of those new Mybook 1 TB hard drives
I reported on the initial demise of Demonoid in one of my earlier posts. But the six month hiatus of Demonoid leaves me a bit suspicious about the return of the site. Why has the site returned and why now? Information on the site states that Demonoid is under “new” administration and that the former admin, Diemos, won’t be back and has left to attend to personal issues. Diemos has turned over all control to the new administrators. To that I say, be careful. We all know that the RIAA and MPAA have been pressing a full out attack on any and all sites that are supportive of P2P file sharing. So the sudden return of Demonoid leaves me with the same feeling that one might get hanging around a mobster who just got pinched by the feds and comes back acting like nothing happened. It could really just be business as usual, but how do you really know for sure. Who is to say what the mobster might of talked about, or more importantly, who might be watching him now. I don’t know about you, but I would advise waiting for a few months before logging on to Demonoid again.
But then again I have been known to be overly suspicious. I guess you can just chalk it up to that New York upbringing.
