Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
don't worry, people still have stuff ripped on their drives, they just brought down indexing site :)
nobody can kill filesharing :)

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
No No No NO NO!
I don't believe my eyes. Jesus, this is shocking news. OiNK was a goldmine.
Later we should sit down and discuss some other options, but right now, all I want to do is mourn. This tracker was the very best of all there is out there. That's why it appeared on Interpols radar.
R.I.P OiNK.

I hate this whole "rating torrent trackers" thing and people still talking about "high level tracker". Do you understand, that you are just attracting feds attention?
I agree, it's just stupid.

Check out the site
Oink.cd
This site has been closed as a result of criminal investigation by IFPI,BPI,Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution
A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of site's users
Do they really mean it

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
I hate BitmeTV, but I do not wish this happening to them...I guess music and all those hits were more sensitive (cashwise) part of the business.

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
:( I feel sorry for the admins & uploaders, I can't see them going after normal users.

Well, fuck them! In my country there ain't such an act that I cannot use torrents for downloading for my personal use. This is not America! So all these morones can give me a blowjob!

the fact is that almost everybody uploaded on oink

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
Do U consider seeding an uploading, Friend?
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
I meant the people uploading the torrents rather than just seeding what you've downloaded.

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
@sylar do you think that those hundred thousand torrents were uploaded by only a few users or something
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
I don't use oink, didn't realise anybody could upload there.
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
Grrr. I wonder if they're going to investigate on the users :S That would feel shi*ty... I wonder in fact if the sites history is enough to accuse users there, it seems like they got it too seriously
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
For all of you who had big buffers it must feel even worse. It's very hard to upload - it takes time. This is very sad news.
Recently, my ratio wasn't too good at OiNK, but I've downloaded more than 200 GB mp3s from OiNK and got what I wanted, but this really sucks. The scary part is that no other tracker is anywhere near as valuable and offering as good material as OiNK. NO OTHER. OiNK's value is ten times bigger than FTN, E****, ScT and UK-T together.
OiNK was the world's biggest recordstore where you could get anything you want for free. It's sounds too good to be true...and so it was...
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
i think thats just a scare tacktic nothing more..... but, as i had stated previously.. i wouldn't be surprised... then again, the RIAA is still reveling in that $220,000 lawsuit they recently won so.... if they had any inttentions of doing anything ya bet your sweeta** they will do it soon.!!

"This site has been closed as a result of criminal investigation by IFPI,BPI,Cleveland Police and the Fiscal Investigation Unit of Dutch Police (FIOD ECD) into suspected illegal music distribution

So if you were a user there, what steps should you now be taking?
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
that what happen when you drag too much attention $$$

I think the guys with the buffer shouldnt put many time in thinking their buffer gone but thinking that their the first or second ring to be invastigated :S, and if in a country like US or UK I wouldnt mind much about my buffer being gone

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
isnt there like a disclaimer - the admin is not responsible for what the users upload / download?? so y'd did he get arrested/?
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
Ali-g, you're saying that people in UK and US could really get in trouble? What about people in the scandinavia? And who will they care about, people uploading a lot or people downloading a lot?

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
It's the pre-releases that got them in trouble. I loved the site for their out-of-print collections.

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
Yeah that's good one "optimus" but seariously this people are going to far they are destroying good comuniyties. It's like some friends sharing files between them , what is so ilegal in this?

It's not just "some friends sharing" when it's close to 200k people. But I do agree that there were perfectly legal aspects of oink that I will miss, such as the wonderful power user board :(

are you kidding me? oink is actually one of the few real "source" trackers and quite illegal i might add :)
-
Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")
i think that the criminal investigators collected hard evidence on the operator in Middlesborough, they then had enough info to arrest him thus rendering the entire site useless. No doubt it took them long. its a shame, Oink was brilliant.
i really hope none of the staff get in deep manure, because i knew one of them.

Re: OiNK raided, man arrested (merged with "oink closed 4 ever")

agree, the site was ilegal like 99% of the sites out there, and was just too big, too easy to notice. Oink took the risk and is a shame that he got owned, but he was old enough to know what could happend :-/
bye oink.
Lets this to be a warning to pay to leech sites like filelist, torrenleech bitsup scenetorrents or sceneacces with an overated amount of donations needed and making profit avec the donations :frusty:
cya all
