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

So, is what Polarbear said true? It really seems highly unlikely that admins and sysops would risk everything by not preparing for this kind of outcome.

In what way are the Holland laws different? Could this really be true, that he might just get away with a fine?

Polarbear, if you're here, speak up.

yes the servers were both in UK and Holland
U can't run so big site with a fuckin holland server

No. They were all in Holland.

[SKGunners]

The servers were in Holland. But the site and its owner were from UK.

but if it is Rared up couldn't it be classified as downloading data?? not copyrighted mp3s that would be my argument in court

"...in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording, or otherwise..." and so forth is pretty common fare, even for binary posts on usenet, old, copyrighted recordings from eras pre-dating digital (or even decent analog) storage methods.

"Apparently the countries that the IFPI will focus mainly on is: Brazil, Canada, China, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain, South Korea -- no way to confirm this info, but hey, ..."

Huh? How's that now?

I dont think this comments are welcome on this thread...

this is not a dictatorship i can say my mind !
even if you disagree
that is democracy you do belive in it dont you ?

I believe in many things. For example, I believe you are a vengeful prick who got what he deserved and now should go fuck himself.

How's that for democracy, sport?

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?

Absolutely hilarious coming from a supposed resident of Thailand, where copyright law is taken so seriously (sarcasm alert for the humor impaired).

For those of you who have never been to Thailand, take a trip to Panthip Electronics mall in Bangok on your next visit. You will be accosted by hundreds of people trying to sell you pirated music, movies, and software for pennies on the dollar!

The RIAA, BPI, APFI, and Interpol hold no sway here, so I don't expect this will change anytime soon.

In the meantime, I look forward to another bittorrent site stepping up to take Oink's place so I don't have to sit in Bangkok traffic on the way to Panthip every time I want a 0-day release...

Yetmae

LOL, I know that. I'm a pirate myself. I don't even go to Panthip for buying illegal stuff, but for buying PC accessories. I download my stuff...

My basic point in that post was to enlighten her as she thought all these websites were legal.

BTW, yetmae, your name is pretty offensive to those who understand Thai. Which part of BKK are you from though?

[SAM]

ooh god dam it
i've just seen it
i hope they can reopen

[relleuM]

some one could make a new oink site and host it it would still have same uploaders just new managment wat u say ?

LOL, some how I dont think so

[Unstable1]

U can't run so big site with a fuckin holland server

what a load of bullshit.

[TekknoN1]

I hope the Admins on all Tracker dont log Ip's and encrypt the Server HD.
Security is the first rule !!
And I think all Users shouldn't post url's of any trackers or talk about the tarcker....!!!
No Invites closed the Sign Up on every Tracker or only Users with high Upload or Staff members can invite..

but filesharing will never die !!! i hope oink is in some weeks back !! ..other admin and other server

we are one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
