A sad day for music lovers everywhere, as early Tuesday, British and Dutch authorities have shut down the music sharing website Oink's Pink Palace (http://oink.cd/), said to be the world's largest source of pre-release albums via BitTorrent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent/) protocol. The website's English administrator was arrested today (later released) (http://torrentfreak.com/oink-admin-released-from-custody-071023/) and the servers based in Amsterdam were also seized, an interview with the server's hosts can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRaVhG-Mb_0/). Supposedly, an investigation into the "identities and activities (http://torrentfreak.com//images/oinkhomepage.gif/)" of the site's users...

Ah well i never used oink.

"This operation was as much about making an arrest as it was about making a point."


I suspect they stretch the truth in what they're saying. I'm sure the fella doesn't make hundreds of thousands, just donations for site maintenance. And if that police spokesman is being used to tell lies to the public on behalf of a few unscrupulous music commodifiers, then shame on them.

This is scare tactics.

^^ yeah, fuck the pigs

Yeah word.

It still wont have a great effect on anything i don't rekon.

The people who used oink will just move onto another site.

fuck!

A whole bunch of OiNK users recently joined STmusic.org. Now hopefully there'll be more decent stuff on there as opposed to not being able to find shite.
