Demonoid down?

Has anyone else been unable to open Demonoid's home page the last few days? Now that torrentspy is anti-american, and demonoid is down, torrentreactor is just a piece of shit.

This happened before. Their tracker is just usually haywire when this happens. Last time it took them about a week to get back up.

Actually Demonoid went down due to presure from a Canadian committee of some sort... There was a story on CNN about it earlier this week... about cracking down on piracy
