| The isohunt site is not blocked, it's their trackers including torrentbox.
Demonoid recently blocked Canadian users from their site though.

| I'm confused about the demonoid thing, because there was a court ruling a few years ago that said it was ok to share files via p2p for music. According to demoid Canadians are blocked because of notice from the CRIA (which is our version of the RIAA). However, the CRIA would only be defending music which isn't illegal here? I'm thinking Demonoid got the letter and didn't want to deal with it, but I don't think the CRIA has a leg to stand on. |

In Canada it is legal to download not upload. BitTorrent by its nature is uploading content which is illegal. |

If what you say was true then demonoid wouldn't have blocked canadian user. I'm not a fan of demonoid so this doesn't concern but just thought I point out your flaw or error. |

And they don't have a leg to stand on, Demonoid just panicked. |
