- moogleboi, on 09/10/2008, -3/+83It seems the government has lost it's way...
It's DISGUSTING the way the police are handling this case - "massive piracy scam" < It was never a scam, it wasn't an attempt to make money and donating was purely optional, though the police seem to believe it was to ensure "continued access to the site".
I mean WHAT THE *****.
What's even more disgusting is the continued false claims of copyright infringement that are directly associated with trackers. They really need to get their facts right.
To top things off, they're backing two companies that have a lot of money to throw around... - rtaibah, on 05/22/2009, -5/+37Sad day...Wish the LHC went awry
- aznhomig, on 09/11/2008, -1/+29***** THE RIAA.
- defy, on 09/10/2008, -1/+27Long live Oink!
- Chrisw44, on 09/10/2008, -1/+27Good luck Alan.
- mattjameson, on 09/10/2008, -2/+25Oink is like Audiogalaxy, so good when it was alive, and there will never be better.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -2/+22***** THING SUCKS
- Goose31, on 09/10/2008, -2/+20B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!
Prevail Alan! :D - inactive, on 09/10/2008, -0/+18i miss oink
- scabbers, on 09/11/2008, -0/+17I never got an invite, so I'm still playing the world's tiniest violin.
- s0m31john, on 09/10/2008, -4/+21MakiMaki charged with Conspiracy to submit every TorrentFreak article.
- klitzbtc, on 09/11/2008, -0/+16oh damn, audiogalaxy, nice name drop.
- Slashered, on 09/10/2008, -5/+19wow, that's horrible, ya gotta feel for the guy and the four admins that will be named. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to the admins of Waffles and What
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -0/+12Actually it was the IFPI and the BPI in this case, not the RIAA.
Oh, and ***** THE RIAA. - RTaynn, on 09/10/2008, -4/+15"...OiNK was a money machine." How? WTF is that? Digg this story and show the world that people won't just swallow BS.
- wukillabee, on 09/11/2008, -1/+12i had an oink account ;_;
- blaker00, on 09/11/2008, -1/+10lipstick on a pig
- championchap, on 09/11/2008, -0/+9Our thoughts are with you, on this sad, sad day.
Never forget - 23/10/07. - brickbat, on 09/11/2008, -2/+11What about the conspiracy to defraud artists and consumers that is the ***** record companies? You want a conspiracy? There's one of the biggest. And what about these ***** you in the ass politicians? These ***** accusing someone else of a conspiracy is a bit ***** rich. I'll bet they took 1000 times more "donations" in than oink did.
- SSPink, on 09/11/2008, -2/+10Conspiracy to Defraud? Whom did he defraud?
Seriously, digg lawyers, help me out. - Heywoodj, on 09/11/2008, -5/+12Dear ***** RIAA *****! Oink was your ***** answer you stupid ***** !Oink was worth ***** paying for!
You ***** could have partnered with them charged a reasonable subscription fee (Like you greedy ***** thunder ***** know what ***** reasonable is) You ***** even have the juice to roll it into our mother ***** isp bill! It would ***** killed piracy
in one ***** blow and saved your sorry ass in the ***** process.
Best ***** part aside from some ***** servers and maybe some new ***** material once in a while you could have left it ***** alone and just cashed the ***** check You pig ***** would be seeing cash from ***** who havent paid a ***** dime to you ***** in years!
***** your brick and mortar stores their already dead ***** bury them already!
But nooo you walrus ***** dick stains can't change your soiled ***** panties let alone your antiquated ***** buisness model without consulting your pool of ***** sharks!
Ya ***** blew it. Die in a slow ***** fire.
Sincerely ***** you in the heart.
Heywood ***** Blowme
/end ***** rant!!!
//should I have gone all caps? - xieodeluxed, on 09/11/2008, -0/+6Don't know why people are diggin you down, I totally agree
- Ainvar, on 09/11/2008, -1/+7There is no seperation between goverment (any country) and corporation. It is a sad day when they can throw any charge at someone at make it stick cause one or more corporations has money to throw around.
I hope Alan prevails and the judge throws it out and makes those corporate weasels pay the tab. - ComputerNap, on 09/11/2008, -1/+6Best of luck to you, Alan. No matter what happens, I'll never forget OiNK, the best place to get music on the 'net.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -2/+7duck the futch
- pnyphnz, on 09/11/2008, -0/+5Oh, Audiogalaxy! How I miss you...
- JMilton, on 09/11/2008, -0/+5Not only Alan, but uploaders too. Goddamnit, I hate those copyright gangs so ***** much.
http://digg.com/tech_news/OiNK_Uploaders_Charged_w ... - tvanwyk, on 09/11/2008, -3/+7Digg it... and then do what?
- mydjtl, on 09/10/2008, -1/+5Lets make a case against The Dutch and British law enforcement!! Im sure somehow they must have broken some kind of law in order to get all the information they obtained on the uploaders and admins!
- IHaveCrayons, on 09/11/2008, -1/+5Survive... SURVIVE
- alexonix, on 09/11/2008, -0/+4no.
- DestroyFascism, on 09/11/2008, -0/+4Dugg for Die in a slow ***** fire.
(AT least we can eat and be warm....) - aznhomig, on 09/11/2008, -0/+4It was obligatory.
- merdiesel, on 09/11/2008, -0/+4Long live OiNK's Pink Palace! ***** the RIAA!!!
- seraph582, on 09/10/2008, -3/+6Hopefully justice will prevail.
The first thing I thought of when I read this headline was Joe Biden :( - mCanada, on 09/11/2008, -1/+4It's a long rant, but not a word of a lie.
- babaganush, on 09/11/2008, -0/+3I almost cried the day Oink went down. It's private trackers like Oink that make music more fun. The forums were an amazing place to discuss and share opinions on music. Most of Oinks user base were music fanatics which created some great discussion. I was exposed to so many new types of music/bands while I was a part of Oink. I wish I could have the same experience again :-(
The fact that they are charging some uploaders for one cd is an obvious scare tactic. Big Bad RIAA wants to show you that even one cd is a crime! - xlent, on 09/11/2008, -0/+3i only go for salmon
- xlent, on 09/11/2008, -1/+4if torrent freak is going to be the news outlets that consistantly post p2p underbelly news then yes yes it will.
- kirado4, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2Sharing is caring..
- wigren, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2@reformation
A thief am I. But every time I think about buying something from the Amazon store or signing up for emusic a story like this gets my attention. I couldn't tell you how much music I've downloaded only out of spite. - banmeagaindigg, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2.cd
- okitasan, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2nooooo :( I miss oink. Good luck to you Alan!
- sporg, on 09/11/2008, -1/+3I dont know what to say about this but Im pissed so I will just have to go with ARRR!!
- Mzungu, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2what?
- DestroyFascism, on 09/11/2008, -1/+2No we don't
only some...
Secrets....sshhhh
First rule of the oinK club is.... - inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Its pretty obvious that the police are getting paid off heftily by the IFPI to do all of this, in any other case, they wouln't have touched thi case with a 40 foot pole(which incidentally I wouldn't touch my ex-gf with either)
- boneit, on 09/11/2008, -0/+1RIAA is American. It'll be the BPI in the UK.
Obligatory: ***** the BPI! - allengeer, on 09/11/2008, -0/+1god dammit. bring back OiNK.
Must. Upload. To. Get. Ratio. Higher. - thorak, on 09/11/2008, -2/+3if only there was a replacement for what was OiNK :(
