About 7 months ago, I mentioned that Demonoid was being shut down. The canadians actually shut them down - the CRIA. They threatened Demonoid's hosting provider, and that was the end. Bad times - it had a huge amount of torrents, and lots of obscure stuff that you couldn't find in most other places.



An article from TorrentFreak popped into my news reader and informed me that it was back. Just thought I'd share the news in case you hadn't heard.

Godspeed.

The pirates of the new age. No longer plundering the seas and robbing merchant ships, but plundering the internet and robbing copyright holders. I definitely have no problem with them. In fact, I partake in these activities. I take no part in such activities, however I enjoy following the news. That's why Torrent Freak is one of the feeds in my RSS reader. In an article that was published earlier today, they talk about how hundreds of computer systems in the South Austrailian police branch contained pirated movies. This should set a precedent for pirating being okay down under, right? I say this because of the quote, "police sources have told press that there will not be any investigation into this, citing the large numbers of police officers involved." The thought of a bunch of police being arrested reminded me of the ending of The Bank Job, with Jason Statham that is apparently based on a true story.

Site-wise, I'm still working on PHP'izing everything. The video section is mostly done, but it's not posted yet. Pictures are going to be the biggest amount of work, given the mass amount I have, but I'll get there eventually. I'm in the middle of that, and it's coming along okay.

Grad school's going fine. Work's picking up a little bit, so I don't have quite as much free time as prior, but it's not that bad still. Had to grade Orgo exams today. That took a long time. There were like 12 of us sitting around a table for about 6 hours or so. Free pizza's always good though.

Unfortunately, Demonoid may be being shut down, so if you have a suggestion of any private torrent sites to use (and can invite me to) that would be nice. That's it for now.

Godspeed.
