Demonoid shut down by authorities

First it was the Pirate Bay, now it seems one of the biggest remaining torrent sites on the Internet, the Ukrainian based Demonoid.com, has been shut down by Ukrainian authorities.

Acting on instructions from Ukraine's Division of Economic Crimes, who had earlier received a request from the international police organisation Interpol, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs raided Demonoid's host servers.

Colocall (Demonoid's ISP) agreed to pull the plug and then provided access to the data for investigators.

The BBC provides further information on this here.
