Oink was the best thing on the internet and I miss it more than sex.

Oh really? Read any of the sex offender legislation lately?

that says alot of OiNK! thanks for the news

I support independant/home based/small labels.

Boycott isn’t enough.

There must be something to be done in the class-actions domains in the USA; when every major eats a 5 billion fine up, I think the situation will be better for everybody.

Somehow an international donation fund should be established to finance research on every article of every law available, and then kill them.
Come on, every big industry is doing unconstitutional/illegal business. Otherwise they wouldn’t be so big. Just to find out what !

The same thing happened with ShareReactor and ShareConnector. It took 3 years before their trials were over with, and they were finally let off. It’s already been 2 years since The Pirate Bay’s bust, and more delays are likely before they face court.

In all these cases, it seems that the music/movie pressure groups always greatly exaggerate the issue to the police, implying that these are FTP-like warez sites that are illegally selling stolen material.

Of course the RIAA/MPAA know better, they know exactly how these P2P sites work, but since the police don’t know anything about how torrent or edonkey sites work, they lead the police to believe that these sites are much doing something much more sinister than they really are.

Then after they make the bust, the police find out that these P2P sites are nothing like what they were led to believe – neither storing nor passing through any actual copyrighted material.

As in the Iraq attack’s “if we only knew then what we know now” hindsight – but once committed, there’s no turning back. Already invested much time and money by the time they discover it’s a lame-duck case, the authorities press on.

Unless they were the actual originators of pre-release material [as in EliteTorrents], the site owners always seem to manage to beat the rap in the end. The police know this, and that’s one reason (aside from lack of evidence) why they’ll be pressured to delay the trial as long as possible, and with the site’s lengthy downtime making it less likely that the P2P site will return to its formet glory.

The reason why the *AAs can get away with deceiving the police over and over is because they know they’ll likely never have to face the same police force twice. They’ll again act surprised, and again pretend they didn’t know the difference between a pay-by-download warez site and a free torrent site when pressing charges.

The next torrent site to be busted will go through the same process … and then the next.

If you want to lock someone up tho they just slap together some other reason for it… These OiNK guys will probably be told they abused children and beat women next…

Scary thought but highly likely. Dont think for a second they wont have a catch .22 to make them punishable under the new law even tho the offense was done before it was in place.

Actually there is but it is growing slowly although steadily.

The boycott started after the Napster shutdown slowly, accelerated greatly after the begining of the RIAA extortion campain and have keep growing steadily since then.

We make great progress with the boycott when something particularly outrageous occurs such as the Jennie trial verdict.

We are at a point where a very large number of people will no longer look for compromise and want the current music and entertainement industry

DEAD!

Period.

This outcome is near as the boycott keep growing and more and more artists walk away from the music parasites to operate on their own.

Good luck everyone.

Where exactly is the deception here. Nobody was deceived in any way, nobody believed that they were downloading legitimate copies of an album which then turned out to not be so.

I feel sorry for the fact they’ve now got their DNA in a database guarded by monkeys of IT ‘specialists’ and we be kept wether they win or lose in court!

This whole thing is as weak as it can get, really. I just feel sorry for those 6 innocent people who are treated like some criminals over something that has resulted in little to no social damage except maybe, ironically, a loss of respect for the police, like #11 pointed out.

Make no mistake, I will do anything I can to make them suffer, go bankrupt, get sued and disappear forever.

I would download a terabyte of music right now and delete it and start all over. I would go out on the streets and pass out burned albums for free.

The only people it hurts is the millionaires that did nothing or do not deserve the money, I work hard everyday just to be able to support my closet size apartment while fat f*cks smoke there cigars and count there money.

Death To Music Industry. DTMI

Im so glad to know that instead of working on real crimes they are chasing file sharers..

Cheat on taxes? Its not cheating.. you just don’t fund morons.

I wonder if OiNK will do a Demonoid and return from another country :)

People are too caught up in whatever it is they are doing to realize what the industry is doing. Or they’re lazy. It’s a shame, really. If only we had public service announcement about the matter, sort of like the anti-smoking campaign.

Wishful thinking… I know.
