Pirating music is a criminal offence and we believe it should be obvious to you that the results outweigh the benefits - hard working artists won't be rewarded for their work and will stop producing music,
ultimately leading to a severely reduced selection of music both in the shops and for download.
<!-- The RIAA does not need to display their rational of the law to you, a criminal. They do that in court. This is a superfluous paragraph, the topic of which I have never seen in any legitimate letter addressed to ThePirateBay. Please correct me if I am wrong, of course. -->

The RIAA <!-- So the RIAA is speaking in the third person, now? --> had hoped that the disabling by the police of the large illegal music site, Oink.cd, would stop a lot of people from engaging in piracy, as they don't want to be seen as criminals. However, this appears to not be the case, as two large new sites have sprung up in its place.

This email is the final warning to all of you who were members of Oink.cd and are current members of What.cd. If we find you to be committing any more criminal acts of piracy then we will have to press charges against you, as representatives of the major record companies of America.
<!-- What else is new? Taking down the site person-by-person is a waste of money. The truth is that, since what.cd is in Sweden, the site is free from persecution - just like ThePirateBay. Also, why is this letter specifically address to former members of Oink, as if the RIAA has a personal vendetta against them. That may be true, but I doubt that it would be expressed in a formal letter.-->

Yours Faithfully, <!-- Faithfully? To whom? Certainly not scribbles, the recipient of this letter. Maybe to the musicians they represent? Why would a hostile threat letter end with "Yours Faithfully"? -->

The RIAA <!-- The Author of this letter is conveniently vague. If this were a formal letter, the acronym RIAA would be replaced by that which it abbreviates - for formality's sake. -->

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice so you judge a site based on a email you get instead of the content and speeds... :frusty:

i support what.cd :w00t:

why waffel vs what i think when u use both than u get the best results

although i have only What.cd (i am searching for a waffles invite :)) i voted for waffles

I have what.cd so I voted for what.

i dunno how many torrents waffles got but right now
what.cd got 60k torrents and its growing really fast!

:frusty:

waffles ftw

im now a member of both sites and honestly i couldnt pick which i think is better. its still too early to say, imo.

waffles has nicer looking stylesheets and more torrents and is more private. it also has apps now and they plan to add ebooks and audiobooks, ive just read in the forums.

what.cd has more categories and what feels like a friendlier community.

time will tell, but i dont think theres a clear winner just yet.

+1

Funny tough, Waffles has more torrents but I keep finding what I need in What.


But one thing is for sure... they both rock :yup:

well..this poll is kinda not fair..as u c..members of what.cd are much more than waffles.fm

anywayz am voting for waffles

waffles FTW

ofcours waffles

stmusic - better community - better layout - better speeds - 50k+ users - 45k+ torrents - 170k+ peers - fuck yeah :)

and yes i have had accs on all 3 sites.

stmusic may currently have the most users, but it has the least number of torrents and lacks several important categories. the community is no better than what's and the layout of stmusic is no better than what or waffles, my favourite being waffles, then what, and last of all stmusic.

unless stmusic at least expands its categories, its not even in the running.

and yes, im a member of all 3 sites too.

voted on what

Cut this shit out.

I wish I could vote in this poll, but no invite means no opinion.

1. Don't think so
2. Definitely NOT
3. Don't agree ether. Been having speeds at What and Waffles that I never had in STMusic
4. Doesn't mean a thing (What and Waffles have less users and more torrents and more seed)
5. What has 15k more / Waffles has 25k more
6. (What) 20k more (Waffles = ?)

I like STMusic but as Unstable1 said... it's not in the race

STMusic who are they :rolleyes:

what.cd + waffles is pretty good.

I'm a member of both, and I choose What. I use it a lot more. I like the fact that Waffles allows apps now, but until audio books and e-learning materials are allowed (They were at OiNK!) I'll prefer What. If you are in only for the music, then Waffles might be right for you.

Can only base my opinion on what at this time. i love feels like it may be the new oink in a few years if it lasts.

another stupid poll :/

Voted on Waffles!!

^Why? Why are people stating that they voted, without giving any reasoning?

What.cd is great but the tracker problems are a little annoying right now.Once they are stable i think they will be the clear cut better tracker.

and their new site theme is smexy! :D
