- bballbackus, on 05/30/2008, -11/+184For seeding one album? What the *****? I'm all for piracy but whats the point of going for people with one album where there were people with terabytes uploaded? Meh, anyway, initiate ***** THE sequence,
***** THE RIAA
***** THE MPAA
***** THE CRIA
***** BREIN
***** THE BSA
***** MediaDefender!
***** THE IFPI! - zombird, on 05/30/2008, -4/+156Glad to see with all the stabbings and beatings the British police have their priorities in order.
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 05/30/2008, -8/+120This is absolutely disgusting.
- inactive, on 05/30/2008, -7/+105catch me if you can
- EpicSelekta, on 05/30/2008, -12/+104There is a certain irony that the cops are investigating a group with the name of OiNK.
(Pigs investigating pigs) - gavin422, on 05/30/2008, -1/+65Update - apparently this is a rumor started by OiNK himself. No joke.
Via waffles.fm forums:
May 25 20:49:45  oink starts off rumours
May 25 20:49:54 [oink] apparently an uploader from oink was arrested.
May 25 20:53:55 [riomhaire] successful rumour has started
May 25 20:54:09 [azk] bumhair you ass
May 25 20:54:26 [riomhaire] let's see how far this goes

(replaced IRC < brackets with standard brackets because Digg thought they were HTML) - Xyleene, on 05/30/2008, -3/+50I was going to digg you up until you figured you were being so clever that you had to explain it to us :-)
- windmillninja, on 05/30/2008, -3/+45A "car full of police"? Seriously? It's like every time I watch the annual parade in my tiny hometown where seemingly EVERY fire truck in town comes down the main drag, and I think to myself, "Meanwhile, somebody just left their stove on."
- vfreak2, on 05/30/2008, -5/+42We need Demonoid, the next best place for music sharing, to do what TPB does and keep NO logs of user data! To not at least be a little bit concerned as a result of this, is STUPID, *not* fearless, and when you can easily help to protect your users, just do it. PLEASE demonoid, do this!
- sparql, on 05/30/2008, -2/+38you go after the guys with one album seeding so when it makes the news it scares people. If they only went after people who have seeded 100+ albums, most people will feel that it can't happen to them.
- keithnoir, on 05/30/2008, -3/+36Now doesn't that make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly
And everything is all right - inactive, on 05/30/2008, -7/+38Pigs investigating OiNK. You gotta love that.
- zephyear, on 05/30/2008, -2/+31UK gets closer to a police state everyday
- musicforus, on 05/30/2008, -14/+40I love TorrentFreak and all, but where is the proof this happened? "According to information obtained by TorrentFreak?" Gonna need to know more first.
- BrokenBrick, on 05/30/2008, -0/+22Yay for OiNK, and also Trent Reznor. Boo to Digg for scaring me a little bit for a minute.
- mockupscaledown, on 05/30/2008, -0/+22I don't see why you're getting dugg down for saying this. There article is peppered with "allegedly" and "information suggests," and cites no sources. It's an article, but it's definitely not journalism, and I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out that distinction.
- aliguana, on 05/30/2008, -2/+20because the Police aren't scared to bust into some teenagers house in riot gear to get the perp for the heinous crime of piracy. An arrest is an arrest, makes the stats look good.
They ARE terrified of approaching a bunch of hoodies on a street corner though. They might have knives! Guns! We might get hurt! Or we might hurt THEM, and then they'll sue us for compensation! eek... don't even go there.
Stick with the music junkies, and while we have their confiscated PC back at the office we can make copies of their prOn. Win/Win. - helikopter, on 05/30/2008, -1/+18decent idea, but demonoid is definitely not the next best place for music sharing...
- jebzaki, on 05/30/2008, -1/+17......remember how the movie ended?
- sk11, on 05/30/2008, -5/+20It's sickening. WTF are they even being charged with, listening to music without the right to do so? Will they arrest thousands of youtube viewers too?
- eigenweasel, on 05/30/2008, -0/+15Especially when one considers that the police in the UK no longer investigate house burglaries and thefts from cars due to 'manpower constraints'.
Yet it seems they have plenty manpower to persecute internet users and motorists. And its our taxes they do it with... - dafragsta, on 05/30/2008, -0/+15Don't know why you are getting buried. It's the truth. They are trying to make an example out of someone. It's not a new tactic.
- inactive, on 05/30/2008, -1/+16I was hoping this day would just loom on the horizon forever.
- aliguana, on 05/30/2008, -0/+15uploading music doesn't warrant a van full of plod in riot-gear battering down your door at sunrise and stealing... erm... confiscating your hardware. It's one step away from thought-crime and "black bag over the head while they take you off to camp for processing".
If the copyright holder has a problem with someone sharing their music, it's up to them to get the evidence, and pursue the matter in a civil court. Police should NEVER get involved in these cases. Different if someone is running a CD duplication setup from their garage, as they are making money from black-market sales and generally ripping people off. Seeding a torrent isn't the same thing. At all. - inactive, on 05/30/2008, -2/+16Hmm... spending time, resources and manpower hunting people who upload 1s and 0s is better than protecting people from rapers, pedophiles and murderers
kinda beats: To serve and PROTECT! - dafragsta, on 05/30/2008, -0/+14We've found Osama! He is really into the Beach Boys fro some reason.
- JK1150, on 05/30/2008, -4/+17these cops are used to saying "oink"
- inactive, on 05/30/2008, -3/+16Follow the money.
- inactive, on 05/30/2008, -0/+13True or not, it should remind server admins to hash the user data, all of it.
- emmanuelsotelo, on 05/30/2008, -0/+12You forgot the DMCA.
- leerayIG88, on 05/30/2008, -2/+14Too bad they can't catch me. I live in a cave.
- foolishwolf, on 05/30/2008, -4/+16Well I'm *****!
- BorsKaegel, on 05/30/2008, -1/+13Somehow when I imagine the "car full of police," I can only imagine the weasels in the Toon Patrol cop car from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"...
- iRelinquish, on 05/30/2008, -7/+18Long live the Hydra!
- iamnotbill, on 05/30/2008, -1/+11Oh No, Oinkers! The Wolf is at the door!
Call the Ax man! - kraft123, on 05/30/2008, -1/+11The police is not the problem! Who is behind the laws?
- juniorb, on 05/30/2008, -0/+9I had an OiNK account, and seeing the word OiNK in the headline got me a little choked up for a minute. I think I've been blocking its non-existence from my memory to deal with the trauma.
Still was, and always will be, the model for a community music-sharing site – legal or illegal. - godofpumpkins, on 05/30/2008, -2/+11yeah, wikipedia calls those weasel words (or something like that) I believe.
- ciano, on 05/30/2008, -1/+10I was riding my bike through a golf course one day, and when I hopped the gate to get out (it took me a while to get my bike over there) I was greeted by not one, but two cop cars. TWO cop cars. For trespassing on a golf course.
- Tickitata, on 05/30/2008, -0/+9Lotsa space there, m'boy!
- TimmyGUNZ, on 05/30/2008, -1/+10This is a comment from Torrent Freak:
" The rumor started AFTER we got the info. The information posted in the article is confirmed and 100% correct. Arrests have been made. Several sources confirmed this, we got detailed information from one of the persons involved (which we can’t post at this time), and solicitors we contacted.
We will probably post an update with more info soon, for the people who remain skeptical." - JovensHomie, on 05/30/2008, -0/+9... sounds like a fun idea at first but has its drawbacks...
- wexmajor, on 05/30/2008, -1/+9It disgusts me that you're right. They did this specifically to intimidate the populace. Why do we tolerate this?
- bushout, on 05/30/2008, -3/+11This is what pisses me off, they talk about what's "fair" and "right", but when it comes down to it, the system couldn't give a ***** about you and I, it's always down to big money interest groups. Let's put more police resources into kids swapping music than stopping kids getting abused (look at how many cops work stopping child porn on the internet, it's sickening low).
We're pushed, pulled, trodden on and bullied by the system at every turn, and *****, you better not have found a way to get one up, because we'll have you for that too. - dafragsta, on 05/30/2008, -0/+8Real life is a lot like Roger Rabbit in that respect. I'm not even joking. We live in a police planet now. It's all about gestapo tactics and setting examples.
- pitdog, on 05/30/2008, -6/+13UK is going down the drain with all the absurdity of the last couple of years...
Wake up folk of England! Take heed of some sense from Jeremy Clarkson and his mates. - hazard, on 05/30/2008, -2/+9Its so much easier to track down and do all your research on who youre going to arrest from a nice air conditioned room than it is to be on the streets asking questions and running after actual physically dangerous criminals. Someone just robbed the bank and murdered all the employees and we need to chase them? Let's just throw a dart at the IP address board and get them instead.
- mentalone, on 05/30/2008, -3/+10only if your a priest or michael jackson.
- gavin422, on 05/30/2008, -2/+9Well *****.
- Frostek, on 05/30/2008, -0/+6If it's *****, why are people bothering to download it? :-)
