OiNK Admin Released From Custody
Written by Ernesto on October 23, 2007After a turbulent day the admin of the raided OiNK.cd was released from custody. At this point it is still unclear what the legal consequences will be, but it is good to see that OiNK is back home.
The OiNK admin contacted TorrentFreak by email which confirms his release. As for the OiNK users, it is highly doubtful that the IFPI or BPI will go after them all, or even one of them. They do know how to scare people with messages like: “A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site’s users”, but there is no evidence that they actually will.
More interesting perhaps, how did they gain access to the OiNK domain, and why are they allowed to spread this propaganda? They are not a law-enforcement agency.
NFOrce, the ISP of OiNK, said today in an interview that they were not aware of any illegal activities surrounding the site. They thought OiNK was hosting a streaming video site or a weblog. Yeah, right.
The BBC did a small report on the arrest with a lot of false information, releasing nonsense statements such as: “illegally downloading music onto his website” and “paying subscriptions to enter the website.” The video of the arrest is shown below, see for yourself.

Typical BRITISH media =(
Yours truly not being from the UK, perhaps the following ideas will be ill-conceived: The fact that the BBC was invited along to film and subsequently broadcast his arrest indicates to me that most of the rigmarole is an orchestrated propagandistic campaign. The only “other side” of the story presented in the video is “few feel sympathy for the record companies.” The fact that the BBC (and numerous other agencies) disseminated false information also smells fishy. The oink.cd’s ugly new index page appears to be a similar fear tactic.
But why doesn’t the news take a more liberal stance, let alone do fact checking? Was OiNK too underground for the BBC to find out the truth, or factual information just too much to demand?
At this point in history I shouldn’t be shocked to find that the media is merely another arm of the law, but nonetheless I am.

That video response to the BBC report just about sums it up.
This is so ridiculous. Maybe I missed something but I sure as hell don’t remember paying a fee to join.
We need to write this assholes and tell them to get their facts straight before spreading bullshit.
why didnt he pay the police like i do?
stupid pig!
how about: shoot the people in the bbc that made this report, broadcast our own news source stating the truth and that the BBC is full of bullshit (the license fee decrease must mean they now can’t ask a simple fucking question) and paying for suscription, go fuck yourself porice… i say we rebel and blow up all there offices to teach those fuckers a lesson
at least OiNK will sleep at home….
glad to see there is no serious crime in the UK, that police can spend their time playacting thus….
to OiNK - thanks for the site!
Maybe torrentfreak.com can get an interview with OiNK’s owner?

i no it is stupid isnt it? maybe someone can make polish subtittles of the video corse i dont get to see all.
if you go to my http://btmusic.eu site you pay me $25 to join and leech all you want make. it almost to good to be true but this is how p2p should be. how sharing is best.
you can get banned but if you pay again you make me happy.
please not so much black music.
BAstards, they’ve killed Oink…
The BBC needs to keep the record companies onside. What else can they broadcast on their radio stations?
So, no surprises for a lack of impartiality.
Wow, that was quick.
hi oink i see u in the video =]
hope to see ur site up in a short while
Well atleast a step in the right direction.
“illegally downloading music onto his website”
How much wronger can a statement be? Its like saying “He illegally shot a gun into his bullet”.. wtf.
It’s a shame that BBC just don’t know how p2p works.
Awe, OiNK looks quite handsome. Come on, how can you put such a guy behind bars…
Pirates = 1
BBC Reporters = 0
Glad to see OiNK is alright, and how this is going to develop in the coming days. I for one would donate to help with legal fees. I’m still hurting from the news, it was such a great site with a great community. It was the first site I went to in the morning, and the last site I visited before going to bed.
Does anyone know about the sites backup feature?
What did it do?
Too bad if there’s just laying around several backups of informatiion about all of the OiNK members..
