Anymore, it's **** and TV
PureTnA.com for the ****
http://tvrss.net/shows/ for the TV shows, no need to worry about share ratios either!

More high-profile P2P busts: Topsite seized as Demonoid shuttered
By Nate Anderson | Published: November 09, 2007 - 12:08PM CT
The international music industry may be playing Whac-A-Mole with P2P hubs, but it has been whacking some rather large moles lately. Shutting down all illicit P2P traffic is obviously not a realistic goal, and it's not one that groups like the RIAA or the IFPI hold; instead, they just want to make it difficult enough for the average ‘Net user to snag a file that legal alternatives start to look better in comparison. Putting some fear into file sharers is also part of the plan.
Music trade groups in Canada and Poland have taken another step down this road with the apparent closure of the BitTorrent tracker Demonoid and a Polish pre-release music site operating from Wroclaw.
Demonoid is one of the largest torrent sites in the world, but demonoid.com now shows only a single line of text: "The CRIA [Canada's RIAA equivalent] threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding."
CRIA has actually been leaning on the site for weeks. In late September, Torrentfeak reported that Demonoid had banned access to all Canadian IP addresses after legal threats from CRIA. Now, it appears that the CRIA has been able to get Demonoid's hosting company to pull its support.
In Poland, police raided Wroclaw Technical University and a private home to confiscate material used to host HPN. HPN, like the now-busted OiNK in the UK, specialized in leaking albums before their official release date. Police took six servers and 37 hard drives. Two people have been arrested.
The raid came after investigations from the IFPI, music's international trade group, and ZPAV, which is its local Polish affiliate. Wroclaw police acted after both groups supplied them with information on HPN.
