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?

:rofl:
I guess RIAA will start sending settlement letters like crazy now.
Everything have begun and the end, so don't be so sad.....new begun is coming :)
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.
Let me see them catch over a 100, 000 users.

To clarify for everyone, there were over 1,000,000 users; not 100,000.
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!
how do you know about it?Quote:
