The Pirate Bay To Bring Back OiNK

[dawgeee]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/Hairbautt/News%20Images/ThePirateBay.pngThe Pirate Bay is currently working on an OiNK replacement in an attempt to bring the hundreds of thousands of music albums back online that disappeared during the raid. The replacement will be released within a week and on the BOiNK.cd domain.

BOiNK will be a little different from OiNK. For instance, the tracker will be public and it will start out with a lot less torrents than OiNK had when it was raided. The success of BOiNK will mainly depend on the former OiNK community, who will be asked to upload their old OiNK torrents.

The most important thing about BOiNK is perhaps the message it sends out to the IFPI and the BPI: It shows that that if you stop one tracker, others will pop up days after. It is a hydra. Call it a slap in the face if you want.

BOiNK will probably be ready in a few days. People from the Pirate Bay, Mininova, TorrentFreak and even the recently arrested (and released) OiNK admin are currently at The Oil of the 21st Century conference where they are - among other things - discussing filesharing, culture and copyright related issues.

BOiNK is a Pirate Bay only project, OiNK and other BitTorrent sites are not involved.

In the meantime, please stay away from scam sites that pretend to be related to OiNK. All they will do is take your money and run away. As soon as there�s an approved donation campaign (if there will be any) we will report it here.

So they're just opening a public tracker for music and giving it a similar name, and using similar colors?

Posers.

:wank:

[sysnoop]

Great a shitty public tracker that will bear no resemblance to oink at all.

[Totti]

WOW let's hope that it will be good with all the leecher problems that public sites have :)

[fOrUmAs]

sound very good..but dont like public site tho...

[AugustoP]

There's no way they could enforce rules on a public tracker. I expect insane amount of dupes, low quality uploads and all the usual public tracker "features".

[LinkS v2.0]

It wont be OiNK. There will just be hoards of transcoded, non-seeded, mislabled, shit uploaded. This is why OiNK existed, as a reliable source of good quality music, which ‘BOiNK’ won’t be.

pretty retarded to have it public.

[pandapop]

They are doing it to make a point more than anything else i suspect

[Alien5]

i agree its more of publicity stunt than replacement for ex-oinkers

[guglhupf]

They are doing it to make a point more than anything else i suspect

absolutely. and people should really be more supportive about it, instead of complaining. i loved my oink too, but stop crying, life does go on. nowadays every band is on myspace anyway, so you gan give the band's sound a try without having to buy the album right away.

[Alien5]

im sure it will get plenty of support but wont be anything like the original oinks :emo:

[sexydingo]

Ew, public...

[Alien5]

Ew, public... :lol: maybe they should name it Demonoinks instead then :unsure:

[riff]

Ew, public... :lol: maybe they should name it Demonoinks instead then :unsure:

more like - sharetheoink4u

[AkaiDoresu]

Well, for the past week we have been talking about more selective access and security and OiNK will be on again with even less secure tracker, lol and I's really funny since The Pirate Bay was shut down too not so long ago and had serious legal issues.

Strange, I hope this is not true, nobody wants a mininovia to be called OiNK.

[TheFoX]

Regardless of whether we think this is tacky or not, it does send one clear simple message to those who think that they can control the population, and that is...

'For every site you crush, another will rise in it's place'...


I would also say that TPB is creating an OiNK lookalike simply to drum the above message home to the controllers. In other words, they are giving the BPI and IFPI the finger, big time.

[sexydingo]

Yea, its a nice effort, and nobody can deny TPB's commitment to progressing the torrent community... but really you can't replace OiNK with a public tracker. Calling it an OiNK replacement is a bit tacky to be sure.

[koolyt]

:lol: maybe they should name it Demonoinks instead then :unsure:

more like - sharetheoink4u

hahaha

[Polarbear]

Great a shitty public tracker

oh yeah? do you know a better one? you should have a little more respect for those guys!

they did more for the bt scene than many "shitty" so called private tracker.

[LackOfInterest]

GRANTED it won't be as good as oink seeing as its gonna be a public tracker, nothing wrong with that. +1 to the pirate bay though for yet another slap in the face to people trying to stop piracy

[munkyboy04]

Long Live the Pirate Bay!!!!!!!!!!!

[misledhope]

remember though that this will be a place all ex oinkers can upload the albums they got there and then anyone can get them to help resurrect a private oinkish site without having to get 50 000 members to have even close to the content. theres nothing wrong with a public oink archive of sorts. file sharing is just that sharing.. with everyone. you dont have to download from there but it would be nice if every ex oinker uploaded one or 2 of their albums upon launch.

[Koeckebacker]

TPB is able to pull this off. Love the idea of BOiNK :P

[ChelseaManiac]

the site wont compare with oink, oink took years to build hopefully the database has been backed up and is in tact and someone will have the confidence to bring it back.

respect to the pirate bay though, they are a bunch of legends they love winding up the authorities, a month earlier they were actually suing the music industry themselves lol

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

Imma put a server on the moon and call it oinksinspace. Are there any intergalactic piracy laws? :P

[jokzor]

i applaud pirate bay, i used to think they were a bunch of kiddos trying to play a 21 century risk, i mean show off and go against big companies
but they are really changing my mind
go pirate bay!

[fook3d]

As the site will be public, I think the 9th comment on the link sums this up tbh.

[tweakz]

Boy r those dwnlds ever going 2 be slow wit all those leeches.....lol

[blackbird]

remember suprnova ? :whistling

[Mister Moo]

public? booooo

[Actatoi]

As in making a statement this is great. Contentwise, let's see.

altough that is a reality is that kind of shit that makes me wonder how can we have ppl behaving like this, mpaa and riaa aren't enough?

[jsndrive]

I think bringing back OiNK in any way or form is great. It's better than the alternative of not having it.

[killuminati96]

haha The Pirate Bay team is unstoppable! :cool: This shit makes me laugh when they do this.

[Detale]

I see alot of bitching in here. "Public!? ugh" I am not a fan of public trackers either but at least they're doing something, what are you guys doing? This is a great thing and a great message from the BT community and I applaud Pirate Bay staff for having the balls to go through with it as I think you should too.

[Shando]

very good news

:D ... smart man, i agree with so many of your posts.

[rabidmule]

oINK shall be resurrected in all its gloreeeey!!

[Pzero]

oINK shall be resurrected in all its gloreeeey!!
Not even close.

C&P'd, Probably been said before, but as a statement, TPB does a great job and they need to keep showing that this sorta thing won't be killed so easily. As a tracker replacement for OiNK, it won't work at all, millions of transcodes, no incentive to seed, no banning, flood of random users.

[S!X]

fuck this!

[redMonster]

Nice effort but I don't think a public tracker will be able to match the standard and quality of OiNK.

[psxcite]

Clearly this is a publicity stunt. Noting can replace Oink. That's a given. But, a public music tracker will never work. There's enough garbage apps and movies on public trackers. I don't want to download a new Linkin Park cd only to find out it's Dolly Parton.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

I know it won't replace Oink that's for shizzle but at least it's better than nuthin'...
The Pirates got the "cojones" to at least do sumfin like that:D
Respect :clap:

[physter]

Regardless of their intentions (whatever they are!) a public tracker just isn't going to attract the calibre of uploaders that Oink had, it's doomed to failure and derision in the long term and while it's a great idea for giving the IFPI a timely poke in the eye what is really needed is a resurrection of Oink itself - which isn't likely to happen any time soon.

Oink was special because it's members were special but above all because Oink himself was special, he cared about the music and it showed but he also had the vision and the ability to make it work. TPB can't match that.

[donnied]

The OiNKis dead!

Long live the BOiNK!

[Mr JP Fugley]

Oink was special ... above all because Oink himself was special, he cared about the music and it showed but he also had the vision and the ability to make it work.

Oh grow the fuck up, he was doing it because he liked to make shitloads of money from people. How often did he accept "donations for server costs" when he had already received thousands of pounds more than the real server cost. How often was the donations thing a lie, all the fucking time. The man was making fortunes for doing fuck all.

He was ripping people off, real filesharers, and got arrested. He's no better than the likes of Sharman.

i suggest you take some time and read this:

http://www.demonbaby.com/blog/

then come again.

[Mr JP Fugley]

I suggest you read the facts about what was actually happening, in the real World.

[Polarbear]

fair enough. gimme some reading.

[FungoTarbox]

I would also be interested in hearing any evidence about this supposed "fortune" OiNK was hauling in. I doubt they were pulling in very much money through donations.

[Alien5]

good luck finding that evidence.

[Mr JP Fugley]

They've already got it FFS, they wouldn't have executed warrants in the UK and in The Netherlands if they didn't. Do you really think that FIOD would have seized servers if the UK Police couldn't prove that he had been making a substantial gain from this. Yeah right, breach all sorts of ECHR rights because of simple copyright theft, my arse it would never happen.

They will have served production orders in relation to the paypal accounts and the bank accounts and know exactly what the turnovers were. The CPS would not have allowed the warrants otherwise. To say nothing of the Judge in the UK who actually signed them. Or the Judge in the Netherlands who agreed them.

This action would not have been taken unless there was a really good prima facie case that he was making large profits from this activity.

Guess who he was making the money from, filesharers.

[Jaggster]

Mmm... interesting! RESPECT for the Pirate Bay! :clap:

Mr JP Fugley why do u care so much if he was making money or not? Every member can choose whether to donate or not. I'm sure he was investing a very big part of his time in this site, so whats wrong with having some profit from it? :)

[Barbarossa]

As far as I know he never came to this site :unsure:

[mossy123]

Its gonna be SHIT. Im hoping that the oink dudes get off scott free and come back to bring it back online.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Mmm... interesting! RESPECT for the Pirate Bay! :clap:

I don't care a flying fuck, I never "donated" any money. Just don't make the guy out to be some sort of urban hero, when he was in it for the money.

He was a guy ripping the pish out of true filesharers. Who do it for the sharing. He did it for the profit. Worse than that, he got his money from filesharers, not from the big companies.

That's appalling.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

ha ha maybe true all that shit why a guy would be arrested by collaboration of Interpol, Dutch & British Police if he hasn't do some rip off...
Maybe the real story is that Some child of a cop wanted so bad an invite to oink that he paid for it and got scammed, and was so pissed that he told Daddy the super cop and maybe that's where it all comes from....:D :D :lol:

hahaha im jokin'....
you know what...im tired...gotta sleep...

I always thought it was weird to donate. After all if I had the money...:unsure:

[Artakserksis]

I'm not sure if it's going to work out, because it's going to be public. Oink users were used to nazi admins and difficult ratio keeping and I doubt they'll like this instead of the old oink.

[Nightguard]

Very good news :w00t::happy:
