OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")

[Sylar666]

Check out the site
Oink.cd


This site has been closed as a result of criminal investigation by IFPI,BPI,Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution

A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of site's users


Do they really mean it
Well, fuck them! In my country there ain't such an act that I cannot use torrents for downloading for my personal use. This is not America! So all these morones can give me a blowjob!

[pECi]

:( I feel sorry for the admins & uploaders, I can't see them going after normal users.

the fact is that almost everybody uploaded on oink

[Sylar666]

Do U consider seeding an uploading, Friend?

[xoas]

I meant the people uploading the torrents rather than just seeding what you've downloaded.

[optimus_prime]

A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of site's users[/B]

Do they really mean it

probably, but who cares, dutch cops :01: make you nervous? :D

[pECi]

@sylar do you think that those hundred thousand torrents were uploaded by only a few users or something

[xoas]

I don't use oink, didn't realise anybody could upload there.

[Ali-g]

Grrr. I wonder if they're going to investigate on the users :S That would feel shi*ty... I wonder in fact if the sites history is enough to accuse users there, it seems like they got it too seriously

[Yesum]

For all of you who had big buffers it must feel even worse. It's very hard to upload - it takes time. This is very sad news.
Recently, my ratio wasn't too good at OiNK, but I've downloaded more than 200 GB mp3s from OiNK and got what I wanted, but this really sucks. The scary part is that no other tracker is anywhere near as valuable and offering as good material as OiNK. NO OTHER. OiNK's value is ten times bigger than FTN, E****, ScT and UK-T together.

OiNK was the world's biggest recordstore where you could get anything you want for free. It's sounds too good to be true...and so it was...

[jasperr]

i think thats just a scare tacktic nothing more..... but, as i had stated previously.. i wouldn't be surprised... then again, the RIAA is still reveling in that $220,000 lawsuit they recently won so.... if they had any inttentions of doing anything ya bet your sweeta** they will do it soon.!!

"This site has been closed as a result of criminal investigation by IFPI,BPI,Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution

So if you were a user there, what steps should you now be taking?

[iNSOMNiA]

that what happen when you drag too much attention $$$

I think the guys with the buffer shouldnt put many time in thinking their buffer gone but thinking that their the first or second ring to be invastigated :S, and if in a country like US or UK I wouldnt mind much about my buffer being gone

[optimus_prime]

So if you were a user there, what steps should you now be taking?

if you're scared then wipe all logs, burn computer and hide into cellar. if not, find some other torrent site and upload all your oink stuff there :D

[freedom]

haha u have been oinked mooooooooo :lol:

[k_ichigo]

isnt there like a disclaimer - the admin is not responsible for what the users upload / download?? so y'd did he get arrested/?

[Yesum]

Ali-g, you're saying that people in UK and US could really get in trouble? What about people in the scandinavia? And who will they care about, people uploading a lot or people downloading a lot?

[k_ichigo]

haha u have been oinked mooooooooo :lol:


not funny..

[rudylaw]

It's the pre-releases that got them in trouble. I loved the site for their out-of-print collections.

[robocris]

Yeah that's good one "optimus" but seariously this people are going to far they are destroying good comuniyties. It's like some friends sharing files between them , what is so ilegal in this?

[awoeonip]

It's like some friends sharing files between them , what is so ilegal in this?It's not just "some friends sharing" when it's close to 200k people. But I do agree that there were perfectly legal aspects of oink that I will miss, such as the wonderful power user board :(

[optimus_prime]

Yeah that's good one "optimus" but seariously this people are going to far they are destroying good comuniyties. It's like some friends sharing files between them , what is so ilegal in this?

are you kidding me? oink is actually one of the few real "source" trackers and quite illegal i might add :)

[Jiggles]

i think that the criminal investigators collected hard evidence on the operator in Middlesborough, they then had enough info to arrest him thus rendering the entire site useless. No doubt it took them long. its a shame, Oink was brilliant.

i really hope none of the staff get in deep manure, because i knew one of them.

[zema]

"Apparently the countries that the IFPI will focus mainly on is: Brazil, Canada, China, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain, South Korea -- no way to confirm this info, but hey, ..."

[nista]

Yeah that's good one "optimus" but seariously this people are going to far they are destroying good comuniyties. It's like some friends sharing files between them , what is so ilegal in this?

sharing under friends its not illigal but do u have 180,000 friends?

[Davidoff]

bitches... this is the worst news of the month... i hate ifpi

[XDPD7]

Well this bit of news ruined my day and it barely even started

agree, the site was ilegal like 99% of the sites out there, and was just too big, too easy to notice. Oink took the risk and is a shame that he got owned, but he was old enough to know what could happend :-/
bye oink.

Lets this to be a warning to pay to leech sites like filelist, torrenleech bitsup scenetorrents or sceneacces with an overated amount of donations needed and making profit avec the donations :frusty:

cya all

bad news
bec one of the best tracker about music gone:(
bitmetv :naughty:
you next
bitmetv dosen't have illegally stuff, the series aren't illegally

[KinkyAfro]

If the site was hosted privately on leaseweb then how did they get owners name/address without taking leaseweb to court for it?

[ADELA]

good luck to all the staff members @ oink!

[Rpcry]

bad news

bitmetv :naughty:

dvd packs of those series are, and just to let you know some people think that they are into ilegality. Just ask yourself why fansubs dont make licensed animes?

distributing edited rips is also illegal I believe. Another tv tracker was shutdown recently because of having commercials cut out.

[Yesum]

shit......the best music tracker is gone forever


The best tracker of all times is gone forever. =/

[Nexus]

This sucks so bad :(
The best music tracker is down and I hate previewing samples when it comes to music. Oink helped me try before I buy in great quality. Good luck to all involved...

[Adster]

The best thing about Oink is it had some aussie albums I couldnt find on soulseek :(

[sexydingo]

Wow, this is the biggest blow to private trackers yet

[sanjana]

Does it mean that torrents are illegal to download and that means all the music torrents are illegal. There are n number of torrents that are having the illegal music.

music-vid, vipmusic and many more. Are they illegal.. Hope they will reopen the site as early as possible. Thank you for this information. Sad to hear this :(

[Tokeman]

um, any torrent with something you didn't buy in it is illegal, unless its a free something.

[Grind$oFine]

I'm so disappointed I can't even explain it.
I almost want to stay home from school and mourn.

This is quite a hefty loss, OiNK was my favorite. :(

[Yesum]

Wow, this is the biggest blow to private trackers yet

Indeed... I wonder what's next.

[Adster]

Torrents ARNT illegal Downloading copyright material supposedly is.

but if it is Rared up couldn't it be classified as downloading data?? not copyrighted mp3s that would be my argument in court

[sovaz]

I was really depressed to hear that...n it look kinda scary that such a big n good tracker was closed. It is another big reason tat all private site should close their registration now...its a better way to secure things i guess.

[nista]

so back to kazza ; )

[Yesum]

so back to kazza ; )

No fucking way. There's gotta be something else.

[blackbird]

so back to kazza ; )

No fucking way. There's gotta be something else.

soulseek .. ;)

have a huge content .. but speed sucked for me

maybe all oink users can start a soulseek room ??:whistling

[Adster]

come join the FST soulseek room :) and we need to rebuild it up

thats where I got 90% of my music and get new releases spread quick on there

always found it better then oink .. it was a pain in the ass to get a ratio up on oink.. the bad thing is I dunno where im gonna get some aussie albums now

[SKGunners]

Sanjana, let me make this clear. Downloading stuff is legally via purchase through credit card or something else is known as a "digital download". That's legal. But when you download something that is not acquired through payment but has copyright laws is ILLEGAL and the law has full authority to get you punished for that. In the case of OiNK, VIPMusic, etc, it is illegal because you're downloading music/apps/etc. instead of paying for it. Get the point?

[Rpcry]

I guess RIAA will start sending settlement letters like crazy now.

[I beleive.....]

Everything have begun and the end, so don't be so sad.....new begun is coming :)

[Dr. Lecter]

Oink was a great place for music lovers, one of the greatest trackers ever.

I hope that if the owner will go to trial they will publish it. I'm sure that many people will help by donating money to pay for his legal assistance\lawyers.

[_coder_]

Let me see them catch over a 100, 000 users.

http://funkyimg.com/u/58545Untitled.jpg

[Torn]

To clarify for everyone, there were over 1,000,000 users; not 100,000.

[Defy]

Holy cow... err... pig! I can't believe what I'm seeing. :(

Oink Website - This site has been closed as a result of a criminal investigation by IFPI, BPI,
Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into
suspected illegal music distribution.


A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site's
users.

This is sad, sad news indeed. I can't believe it.

Users of the site criticised the raids as heavy handed and said one success would not prevent more file sharing sites springing up in future.

Viva la resistance!

[mysterious]

To clarify for everyone, there were over 1,000,000 users; not 100,000.

how do you know about it?

[Polarbear]

the most important thing now is, that we don't let the content die. the music wasn't on oink. it is still on our computers.
upload the content to other trackers and show those greedy ifpi bastards that they can bring down a tracker, but they can't prevent 200.000 people from sharing their files somewhere else.

fuck the main stream industry - long live file sharing!

Absolutely hilarious coming from a supposed resident of Thailand, where copyright law is taken so seriously (sarcasm alert for the humor impaired).

For those of you who have never been to Thailand, take a trip to Panthip Electronics mall in Bangok on your next visit. You will be accosted by hundreds of people trying to sell you pirated music, movies, and software for pennies on the dollar!

The RIAA, BPI, APFI, and Interpol hold no sway here, so I don't expect this will change anytime soon.

In the meantime, I look forward to another bittorrent site stepping up to take Oink's place so I don't have to sit in Bangkok traffic on the way to Panthip every time I want a 0-day release...

There were around 200K seeders and 50K leechers. That doesn't mean there were only 200K members. ;)

[ersatzp]

Oh noes, went to the site and they say there are in the process of tracking users. Time to get the hammer out and destroy the hd.

[KFlint]

i'm not a legal expert but i'm pretty sure any info they have on users could not be use in any ways. there is no illegal content at all on the site and a snatch list is certainly not a proof of what users downloaded, they have to catch the users when doing it

[LostinTrance]

I suppose we're all here to express our grief.

Fuckin hell :| WHY! Bastards.

[PlainShane]

http://oinkmemorial.blogspot.com/ posted the arrest video.

Idiots are wooing the public by making OiNK out to be a cult of some sort where users pay a subscription fee. What an imbisal.

agreed, they can and will make sure life is difficult for a while .... for anyone..

I hope they do come back...but I have a feeling it will never be the same. There success was their downfall. Having so many members meant they had awesome content but it also put then squarely in the sites of RIAA and therefore the Cleveland police (???) and other authorities.

I hope it all works out for the best for Oink himself and he doesn't have to do any time, he provided a true service for the p2p community.

Hmm yea, i woder what are the charges...

There is a note saying that no content is being hosted on a website.
Downloading itself is not illegal, only sharing the material you downloaded, or basically seeding stuff for other people.

Big arrest but how they gonna get this case done if they actually cannot come up with any reasonable charges.

[blackbird]

recieved a pm in THS...


FRIENDLY REMINDER:

For weeks and weeks now we have talked about using the same passwords here that you use elsewhere. As many of you may have already heard of come aware of, Oink was raided early this morning. If you share a password OR email address between our site and Oink, YOU MUST change you password here ASAP. It is a security risk as the Oink servers were seized and the information on those servers can be used in attempts to access any accounts their users may have had elsewhere

thought of sharing it with everyone .:). so change the password's for your own security

[Brandon]

this will have a huge impact on other private trackers ..
pfft, im not scurrrrr'd


isnt there like a disclaimer - the admin is not responsible for what the users upload / download?? so y'd did he get arrested/?

I always laugh when I see those. sct has by far the funniest one i've seen thus far. Looks like it was a direct copy from amazon.com or something. Anyways, legal agreements can't just be copy pasted onto a site and work. For example, I can't put "by logging onto this site you will agree to pay me $1,000 each month form here on after" into FTN's user agreement and expect to be able to take you to court and win. There's a lot more to a legal agreement than just putting it into a php document.
If you really believe those petty legal agreements saying shit like that stupid act Bil Clinton supposedly signed protect you, you're just being silly.

[iMartin]

Truely a sad day... :(

[PlainShane]

Changing passwords is a good idea right about now...

feel bad for Oink owner and yeah time to change all the passwords

[Files4Life]

may there rise another oink

RIAA : You do not understand what you have accomplished to do

[Yesum]

The great thing about OiNK was that every bitrate of an album was available. 192, 320 kbps, V0 and FLAC. It was fantastic. And over 200.000 torrents and thousands of albums with great quality rips. I don't know but it will definitely take time to build up everything again. If anyone's up for the challenge, that is.

I fucking knew something like this would happend sooner or later. =/ And everyone who is talking about OiNK returning, it won't happend. The admin is behind bars and Interpol spent two years to investigate this.

Start over... =/

hope they didnt get taken down too

rip oink

[Sylar666]

SCT down here as well.

[SiNa]

what the hell, every day one tracker goes down!

[sshaw1982]

Terrible terrible news. I was a loyal "pink-pig" for as long as I care to remember and although I hadn't used the site much recently it was the one site I really cared about membership too.

The community as well as the music made Oink one of the premier sites to be a member of. T'is a sad sad day for filesharing and B/T in general. Now starts the rumour mill and the misinformation merry-go-round, Oink was never a "paysite" and was no different to any torrent site that asked for donations.

Its not the raid that pisses me off perse(don't get me wrong I am pissed off about the raid) but more the crap thats gonna get spouted from the ifpi and there many minions. This isn't the end of the war by a long shot, I think this situation will worsen in the immediate future :dabs:

Best of luck Alan.

[dnero73]

What are the countries of users they are most likely to go after ,for example i was checking out Mexico and they don´t prosecute unless they see you are making money from actuual bootlegging i can go downtown and see hundreds of diff businesses selling bootlegs cd´s and movies they can´t even handle them

^agrees with stereonumeral.

You only got banned from oink for cheating in the first place, play by the rules - stay in the game. (until today that was....)

[fridash]

dark jail thats a bit harsh

is out dont worry

its not a murder case

[krisil]

as a true opportunist stmusic has opened signups.

[PirateEagle]

well this is really sucks fuck anti piracy police but i hope that OiNK will relived again just like Demonoid was closed by those anti piracy assholes but it relived again....
well we can only wait and see :(

[krisil]

both the cases i.e. oink and demonoid are not similar. servers have bees seized in oink's case , a man has been arrested , while there were only legal and isp problems with demonoid . i think the trackers should now move to safer countries ( read lawless african countries)

dont you get it you are all banned now

Shut up jerk. You're just upset because you can't cheat at OiNK because of their terrific anti-cheat system they had. If you would have 100 GB buffer, you wouldn't say anything.

BTW what's going to be the new alternative for all those Oink uploaders and users?

BTBTW this is the most view thread in a short time span ever!!!

[mossy123]

One of the best trackers around! Im sure they will be back. I hope so. Sniff sniff ;(

[Yesum]

so tarrific system? tell it to the admin
and for your 100 gb buffer - i never ,as sould you build on mudy soil

I don't give a shit about the staff or the admin at OiNK. I care about the tracker OiNK and the music that was available.
Maybe the staff was assholes, I don't know or care, but the anti-cheat system they had was great, so I understand your frustration because you were banned from there.

And I didn't say I had 100 GB buffer. I didn't have any buffer left, so my account was dying anyway. But it's sad that we will never see such a great tracker again. At least not for now.

They could have raided any other tracker, I wouldn't give a shit. But OiNK is the largest and most important site, that's why it appeared on Interpol's radar, and they shut it down.

[Necrophag]

Good, to be honest it was a crap site anyways. You could never seed back once you download, so many people would download before you and was hard to seed back.

[Grind$oFine]

if they did come back, how would that even be...? it's not like they could continue on exactly like they were before...? :dabs:

they'd have to be more cautious, and how can you be with THAT many users?

NOW WHY ON EARTH oink was so strict disabling people who broke their rules...? why wouldn't they want even MORE members and attention?... "what a bunch of assholes!" :rolleyes:

I feel bad for people who donated in the last week or so.I came across this link
This is by far the most informative link I have found I think all of my previous links are in here too, worth a good read :)

[Polarbear]

they don't have much against oink if he didn't earn money from the site.
the accusations of the ifpi are basically false and the server was in holland (other laws).

i'm sure the oink owner knew exactly about the legal situation.

if this comes to court, i predict he'll get away with a fine.

who knows. maybe the site will be up and running again in a few weeks.

[Avalon-EX]

Wow, I can't believe Oink got shutdown! :( It's a very sad day indeed...

We can only hope that it goes back online soon, but under a different name/address...

I doubt many if any will even be prosecuted. Its more of a scare tactic than anything in most cases like this.

That's exactly what they want us to do.

Nothing will happen to regular users, they just don't have enough evidence

[WarrenBuffet]

Wow, my friend just got started on Oink a few days ago.... and yesterday he said there was so much he wanted but didn't wan tto kill his ratio... sigh* he should have just leached everything....

Wtf is wrong with you? To me its a joke, when they say "Yeah we are going after users blahblah". You are really paranoid..bye:sick:

[aysomc]

i laugh when they say they're coming after users, come and get me bitches, id like to see you try. they wont do shit, if you were an admin/mod of the site maybe you should worry a little but even then i wouldnt sweat it too much. they did all this for publicity so they could scare us into quitting, they dont have the manpower or resources to come after any of us so lets all find a new site and make it the new oink.

[Enlightened]

I guess Oink can be scraped out from the WIAW forever....

Nobody can be Banned now from Oink. oR their Invites taken away .....LOL

[diaspora]

i cannot believe... oink best music tracker in the world is down:sick::frusty::cry:

[weenden]

on a positive note i love squizzels av and ill miss oink not that i admit to using it

[euitwa]

FUCK...all those torrents...gone =(
All those torrents I wanted to get one day...one day...and now I'll never have them.
*cries*

[optimus_prime]

where did they go? they still sit on peoples disks.

[smirnoff]

unbelievable.

[WarrenBuffet]

Whats funny is, its just a site, OPTIMUS HAS A GOOD POINT. All the actual files are on ppls disks. hell u can make any ole website and have all those people and it will be just like Oink

[Gish]

a few questions that I have and a few others may have as well!
what was oink..if that was who was arrested and not another admin of the site doing in a country where filesharing is illegal there for very viable the the public eye. also the ISP or whatever of oink claims to have not known anything about the raid or the anything for that matter.
last but not least...
every good site has a backup right! most likely oink has a backup in hopefully another country. If so would it be possible to be back up weather under control by another admin in a number of weeks or months?

[Sawyer2020]

I guess Oink can be scraped out from the WIAW forever....

Nobody can be Banned now from Oink. oR their Invites taken away .....LOL
I lost my invites there and I not care I just want this best music
site back online again
its the most source ever for music lovers

[garherd]

Like everybody else, Oink was my favorite music tracker. It makes you wonder that if they can be shut down, so can all the other major trackers. Truly this has been a bad day for all bittorent users.:(

OiNK Admin Released From Custody
Written by Ernesto on October 23, 2007

After a turbulent day the admin of the raided OiNK.cd was released from custody. At this point it is still unclear what the legal consequences will be, but it is good to see that OiNK is back home.

The OiNK admin contacted TorrentFreak by email which confirms his release. As for the OiNK users, it is highly doubtful that the IFPI or BPI will go after them all, or even one of them. They do know how to scare people with messages like: “A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site’s users”, but there is no evidence that they actually will.

More interesting perhaps, how did they gain access to the OiNK domain, and why are they allowed to spread this propaganda? They are not a law-enforcement agency.

NFOrce, the ISP of OiNK, said today in an interview that they were not aware of any illegal activities surrounding the site. They thought OiNK was hosting a streaming video site or a weblog. Yeah, right.

The BBC did a small report on the arrest with a lot of false information, releasing nonsense statements such as: “illegally downloading music onto his website” and “paying subscriptions to enter the website.”

[Effer]

they don't have much against oink if he didn't earn money from the site.
the accusations of the ifpi are basically false and the server was in holland (other laws).

i'm sure the oink owner knew exactly about the legal situation.

if this comes to court, i predict he'll get away with a fine.


Is this true? Are you sure about this? Weren't the servers in the UK too?

This is what I was wondering about too, it seemed pretty improbable that the guy who ran the site didn't prepare for this legalwise.

yes the servers were both in UK and Holland
U can't run so big site with a fuckin holland server :pinch:

[Effer]

So, is what Polarbear said true? It really seems highly unlikely that admins and sysops would risk everything by not preparing for this kind of outcome.

In what way are the Holland laws different? Could this really be true, that he might just get away with a fine?

Polarbear, if you're here, speak up. ;)

No. They were all in Holland.

[SKGunners]

The servers were in Holland. But the site and its owner were from UK.

[kaoblanco]

but if it is Rared up couldn't it be classified as downloading data?? not copyrighted mp3s that would be my argument in court
"...in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording, or otherwise..." and so forth is pretty common fare, even for binary posts on usenet, old, copyrighted recordings from eras pre-dating digital (or even decent analog) storage methods.


"Apparently the countries that the IFPI will focus mainly on is: Brazil, Canada, China, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain, South Korea -- no way to confirm this info, but hey, ..."
Huh? How's that now? :huh:




I dont think this comments are welcome on this thread...

this is not a dictatorship i can say my mind !
even if you disagree
that is democracy you do belive in it dont you ?
I believe in many things. For example, I believe you are a vengeful prick who got what he deserved and now should go fuck himself.

How's that for democracy, sport?

[SKGunners]

Sanjana, let me make this clear. Downloading stuff is legally via purchase through credit card or something else is known as a "digital download". That's legal. But when you download something that is not acquired through payment but has copyright laws is ILLEGAL and the law has full authority to get you punished for that. In the case of OiNK, VIPMusic, etc, it is illegal because you're downloading music/apps/etc. instead of paying for it. Get the point?

Absolutely hilarious coming from a supposed resident of Thailand, where copyright law is taken so seriously (sarcasm alert for the humor impaired).

For those of you who have never been to Thailand, take a trip to Panthip Electronics mall in Bangok on your next visit. You will be accosted by hundreds of people trying to sell you pirated music, movies, and software for pennies on the dollar!

The RIAA, BPI, APFI, and Interpol hold no sway here, so I don't expect this will change anytime soon.

In the meantime, I look forward to another bittorrent site stepping up to take Oink's place so I don't have to sit in Bangkok traffic on the way to Panthip every time I want a 0-day release...

YetmaeLOL, I know that. I'm a pirate myself. I don't even go to Panthip for buying illegal stuff, but for buying PC accessories. I download my stuff...

My basic point in that post was to enlighten her as she thought all these websites were legal.

BTW, yetmae, your name is pretty offensive to those who understand Thai. Which part of BKK are you from though?

[SAM]

ooh god dam it
i've just seen it
i hope they can reopen

[relleuM]

some one could make a new oink site and host it it would still have same uploaders just new managment wat u say ?

LOL, some how I dont think so:rolleyes:

[Unstable1]

U can't run so big site with a fuckin holland server :pinch:


what a load of bullshit.

[TekknoN1]

I hope the Admins on all Tracker dont log Ip's and encrypt the Server HD.
Security is the first rule !!
And I think all Users shouldn't post url's of any trackers or talk about the tarcker....!!!
No Invites closed the Sign Up on every Tracker or only Users with high Upload or Staff members can invite..

but filesharing will never die !!! i hope oink is in some weeks back !! ..other admin and other server ;)

we are one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, all of us want to be the first to sign up when the new one opens :p
