- Dcherub, on 11/10/2007, -13/+520I'm really sad about this - like genuinely upset...
- Leaddeh, on 11/06/2007, -17/+523This is the worst news ever.
- bindasj, on 11/06/2007, -11/+274Oink should move to Sweden. That seems like the only cool country these days.
Oh and ***** those pigs. - Rowan187, on 10/24/2007, -10/+247Damn. TVLINKS and OINK in the same week. Both in their 20's. This is another sad day for piracy.
See you in Sweden! - badenglishihave, on 10/24/2007, -7/+188Wow... arrested for hosting a torrent site. *shakes head*
- HippieKiller, on 10/25/2007, -6/+178Tipped off? Who the ***** didn't know about OiNK?
- badenglishihave, on 10/25/2007, -2/+147"This was not a case of friends sharing music for pleasure."
That's EXACTLY what it was. - EthanFeldman, on 11/06/2007, -17/+145hahah great. less than 24 hours after i get invited.
AND
three days before leopard :-( - SAIIIKO777, on 10/25/2007, -14/+141User name adamlazz tipped off the police for a cash reward. He is completely responsible for the closure of the site.
- lava, on 10/25/2007, -6/+130so much for private trackers being safe
- kris33, on 11/06/2007, -7/+130Propaganda press release by IFPI:
http://www.ifpi.org/content/section_news/20071023. ... - zCharden, on 11/06/2007, -7/+127=(
Never will my downloads go as fast as they did on OINK. So close to the Christmas free leach! - Saku, on 10/24/2007, -13/+123I can finally type now that I have stopped crying. It is a sad day...very sad..Oink was the best...
- lidri, on 10/24/2007, -8/+109***** the IFPI and the BPI.
- rawheadrex, on 10/24/2007, -0/+91This news just ruined my day... my week... *****. I'm gonna be down the rest of the year, this is terrible news.
Oink single handedly got me back on the music scene, made me care more for the music and the musicians behind the music. I've bought 20 times more CDs and legal music downloads in the last 3 years I've been using OiNK compared to the 3 years prior to it. The worst tech news all year. - itsmedamon, on 11/06/2007, -10/+100UGH
JUST got my power user status too! - fkr3, on 11/01/2007, -7/+92I bet you run out of guys willing to take a fall on your behalf before the RIAA and MPAA give up.
You know what's funniest about this OiNK stuff? People are lamenting that the site's gone or that their good ratio is lost, they don't seem to give much of a crap that the guy who did it for them is probably going to spend the next couple of decades in bankruptcy recovery or getting ass-raped in prison.
With support like that I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding others to assume the risk for you. - dragongrrl, on 10/24/2007, -6/+85
holy crap -- they arrested the guy. man, this is a dark day. and i'm not even an Oink user!
time to go darknet, i guess. yipes. welcome to 1984. - jtreach, on 11/06/2007, -12/+86This sucks arse.
- DiscoJohn, on 10/25/2007, -1/+73Isn't it sad that the pigs are the ones that shut down Oink?
- meez, on 10/23/2007, -1/+73"It follows a two-year investigation by music industry"
Took them two years to find out about OiNK... ouch. - dapbot, on 11/06/2007, -13/+82Sheizer. Seriously. If anyone is going to replace Oink, can you give me a heads up?
- inactive, on 10/25/2007, -2/+70That puts you at the top of the next to raid list.
- championchap, on 10/24/2007, -1/+63Two years to get an invite.
- jayneff, on 03/30/2009, -11/+72***** The Police
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -9/+66You will never see that 24 year old ever again.
- kris33, on 10/25/2007, -4/+581 hour before Leopard. Someone was underway uploading it.
- shagie, on 10/25/2007, -2/+55You will be missed, OiNK. You will always be oink.me.uk to me.
- duckyinc, on 11/06/2007, -15/+68Why did torrentfreak blur his face? I want to look at my hero's face..
- saxonthebeach, on 10/24/2007, -2/+54The greatest news ever right now would be that someone has been backing up the servers remotely in the event that something like this happened.....please let it be true
- corbs132, on 10/24/2007, -4/+56This is the first article I looked at on digg and literally said aloud, "what the *****!" Does this mean the members will be seeing fancy lawsuits?
- mahmud111, on 10/25/2007, -12/+63bush gets away with mass murder and this 24 year old gets arrested for making people like me happy.
- rye425, on 10/25/2007, -2/+50When will the RIAA and MPAA get it through their thick heads that P2P will always live on. You shut down one tracker and people will move to another. It's like Walmart, it's a unstoppable force that you should just stop resisting against.
- bigdaddyguido, on 10/24/2007, -3/+50To everyone who believes that oink users weren't the very people who supported the music industry and are some band of pirates, you clearly were too greedy to be involved. The whole concept of oink was music sharing, so as to spread knowledge of an incredible library of decades of music. The oink users i've met have been incredibly devoted to music and have invested large portions of their time and money towards furthering the industry instead of simply handing over their hard earned dollars to a bunch of corporate lawyers who have never had the artists intrest at heart.
- tarquell, on 10/25/2007, -3/+48high profile high traffic trackers are never safe. oink lasted longer than it should have i guess.
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -35/+80I was never cool enough to get an invite anyway, so it's no loss for me.
- kamisama, on 10/24/2007, -3/+47A legend died.
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -3/+46If you ain't American then you can ask them to shove that DMCA notice right up to the place where the sun don't shine.
- potofgravy, on 10/24/2007, -2/+45Have a cry. Just because one of the diggs was yours. Plus that link put it as oink.co.uk when that is clearly not the web address.
- chenbot, on 11/06/2007, -5/+47but but... I need my oink...
- Dcherub, on 10/24/2007, -0/+39torrentfreak offers honest and well written news, with exactly the tone i want to hear.... stop being a douche
- mixmastabeef, on 10/25/2007, -6/+44WHATTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY LIFE Is RUINED!!!!!
"A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site's
users"
maybe even more so! - Margh, on 10/25/2007, -1/+38That must hurt, I mean, honestly.
- alecks, on 10/25/2007, -1/+37***** backups, I'm hoping they were smart enough to implement a self destruct script, so if any of them saw swat guys or whatever coming through the doors, at least one of them would have time to double click self-destruct script, which would erase their database/logs of all user activity.
- pagancollective, on 10/24/2007, -1/+37And you're doing what exactly?
Easy to say that you'd fight back in a goddamned internet post. Thanks, tough guy. - cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -13/+48Because they should be out finding serial rapists, murderers and paedophiles instead of chasing torrent sites. I know it's not their decision to decide who they chase, but we're mourning, let us vent mmkay?
- petedee, on 10/24/2007, -0/+35lame, that site introduced me to so many new bands that I love and kept me from buying a bunch of rubbish albums that I might have bought before, the speed was always top knotch and there was an amazing collection of music on there. If you wanted it, it was on oink, at top quality, and with stupidly fast speeds. Can't belive the owner of it was so local too (just down the road from where I live) ah dammit :(
- Spuy767, on 10/25/2007, -6/+40So much for my 52:1 Seed:Leech Ratio.
- TheNik, on 10/24/2007, -4/+38I'm waiting for the *AAs to sue Google for hosting copyrighted files. They will thus meet their maker.
- jetsetter883, on 10/24/2007, -1/+34haha tipped off? as if Oink was some Columbian drug cartel?
