i'm not a legal expert but i'm pretty sure any info they have on users could not be use in any ways. there is no illegal content at all on the site and a snatch list is certainly not a proof of what users downloaded, they have to catch the users when doing it
I suppose we're all here to express our grief.
Count me in.
They have nothing to show to the court but more than enough to scare the user into settlement.Quote:

Idiots are wooing the public by making OiNK out to be a cult of some sort where users pay a subscription fee. What an imbisal.
agreed, they can and will make sure life is difficult for a while .... for anyone..

In a remarkable show of strength and perseverance "anonymous" has posted this message on our comments section:
we will ba back .. sooner than you could imagine ;)
strange but maybe posible :)
RIAA damn bastards... arghhhh... this is my worst day ever!!!. .... please someone can hack RIAA page ??..
I hope they do come back...but I have a feeling it will never be the same. There success was their downfall. Having so many members meant they had awesome content but it also put then squarely in the sites of RIAA and therefore the Cleveland police (???) and other authorities.
I hope it all works out for the best for Oink himself and he doesn't have to do any time, he provided a true service for the p2p community.

Hmm yea, i woder what are the charges...
There is a note saying that no content is being hosted on a website.
Downloading itself is not illegal, only sharing the material you downloaded, or basically seeding stuff for other people.
Big arrest but how they gonna get this case done if they actually cannot come up with any reasonable charges.
recieved a pm in THS...
thought of sharing it with everyone .:). so change the password's for your own securityQuote:
FRIENDLY REMINDER:
For weeks and weeks now we have talked about using the same passwords here that you use elsewhere. As many of you may have already heard of come aware of, Oink was raided early this morning. If you share a password OR email address between our site and Oink, YOU MUST change you password here ASAP. It is a security risk as the Oink servers were seized and the information on those servers can be used in attempts to access any accounts their users may have had elsewhere
pfft, im not scurrrrr'dQuote:

Anyways, legal agreements can't just be copy pasted onto a site and work. For example, I can't put "by logging onto this site you will agree to pay me $1,000 each month form here on after" into FTN's user agreement and expect to be able to take you to court and win. There's a lot more to a legal agreement than just putting it into a php document.Quote:

Truely a sad day... :(
Changing passwords is a good idea right about now...
feel bad for Oink owner and yeah time to change all the passwords
may there rise another oink
RIAA : You do not understand what you have accomplished to do
The great thing about OiNK was that every bitrate of an album was available. 192, 320 kbps, V0 and FLAC. It was fantastic. And over 200.000 torrents and thousands of albums with great quality rips. I don't know but it will definitely take time to build up everything again. If anyone's up for the challenge, that is.
I fucking knew something like this would happend sooner or later. =/ And everyone who is talking about OiNK returning, it won't happend. The admin is behind bars and Interpol spent two years to investigate this.
Start over... =/

WTF No!!! :cry:
My absolute favorite music tracker is gone :(
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
im refreshing this page until i see, OINK IS BACK !!! , all whats a set up joke ...
damn it !!!
oh noes, i cant connect to sct
hope they didnt get taken down too
rip oink
SCT down here as well.
what the hell, every day one tracker goes down!
Terrible terrible news. I was a loyal "pink-pig" for as long as I care to remember and although I hadn't used the site much recently it was the one site I really cared about membership too.
The community as well as the music made Oink one of the premier sites to be a member of. T'is a sad sad day for filesharing and B/T in general. Now starts the rumour mill and the misinformation merry-go-round, Oink was never a "paysite" and was no different to any torrent site that asked for donations.
Its not the raid that pisses me off perse(don't get me wrong I am pissed off about the raid) but more the crap thats gonna get spouted from the ifpi and there many minions. This isn't the end of the war by a long shot, I think this situation will worsen in the immediate future :dabs:
Best of luck Alan.
What are the countries of users they are most likely to go after ,for example i was checking out Mexico and they don´t prosecute unless they see you are making money from actuual bootlegging i can go downtown and see hundreds of diff businesses selling bootlegs cd´s and movies they can´t even handle them
horrible news . i am really disturbed atm :(
good times !!!
about time they put tose idiots to sleep !
Hmm?
its time torrent sites moved out of europe/america to the lawless countries of africa....

those damn idiots got what they deserve
you guys can say what you damn please
the fact is oink is dead not a moment too soon
^agrees with stereonumeral.
You only got banned from oink for cheating in the first place, play by the rules - stay in the game. (until today that was....)
dont you get it you are all banned now
the reason they are dead is the vast amount of people that plotted against them
they made a lot of enamys
time to pay the piper
