Sedo Halts Demonoid Domain Name Sale Citing ‘Legal Issues’

Demonoid domain names that were put up for sale last week have been de-listed by domain marketplace Sedo.com because of ‘legal issues’. Trouble for the popular bittorrent web site started sometime during the last week of July when it was rendered inaccessible following DDoS attacks after which it started serving malware laden ads.
About four days after these reports, Ukrainian authorities reportedly seized the Demonoid domain and closed down the site entirely by raiding the hosting service provider of the site.
A message on the Sedo.com domain listing now reads:
“Due to possible legal issues associated with this domain, Sedo is not able to offer services for the domain. Please consider selecting an alternative domain.”
Sedo has said that no third-party or law enforcement agency has ordered the de-listing of the domain name.
While the listing for Demonoid.com and Demonoid. ph have been pulled, the sister domain Demonoid.me is still listed as available.
