http://www.ifpi.org/content/section_news/20071023.html


edit: ah, other link was already posted

I can't believe it, this is the worst news ever. Nothing compared to Oink! I feel lost...

Why go for Oink jesus..lots of other private torrent site are doing exactly the same thing....why not go for them?
and if their server was located somewhere..why didn't they hide it??
sigh..3 month investigation..so police knew after all :(
iam really pissed because oink is just simply the BEST site in my opinion..
i hope some other admin resurrects the server somehow..
um guys i have a feeling cuz oink expanded too fast..too much members....they didn't have a low profile and attracted attentions from the likes of cops and stuff..
oh man

can't believe this happened :(

So who's going to take over now there is a big spot for all of us....:(

im lost too...

~120 now. Not surprised though, this is really bad news. Have many other large private BT trackers been shut down in the past?

good point indeed, it's been too popular and too big...

OiNK’s operator allegedly made money by setting up a donations account on the site facilitated by PayPal.

....

Man I feel sorry for oink, he was a really cool guy :( Im also in shock that the best source for music in the world no longer exists...

It was inevitable I guess, oink was getting too big for its own good. Torrentleech will be next.

i refuse to believe this until an independent news source reports it.

If you can't believe Reuters who can you?

I am not a member but I feel for the admins and who ever else gets the shaft from this. The site was very big and this was bound to happen sooner or later I guess :(

Best of luck to those involved..

Better yet, who is next. My guess is TL. That site has gotten WAY too big.

i cannot believe it ... the best music site in the world is taken down :frusty::frusty::frusty:
all those torrents, the great community .. all gone !

even the irc servers are down .:cry:



Detective Sergeant Tony Keogh can go fuck himself :frusty:

Well, so this turned out true. But don't worry guys, I tell you there will be a tracker imitating OiNK soon enough. At least, that is what I suppose...

I one I remember was Elitetorrents, that was big in its day, was a real shock when that got shut down, similar to the shock now with OiNK

This will be a huge blow to the torrent community and a wakeup call. Unbelievable.
