The Pirate Bay To Bring Back OiNK

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ePirateBay.png

The 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:

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

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

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

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".

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.

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

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

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.
