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.

OiNK WILL be back, if not now then later on, there is no way the community (which I was a part of) would let it die just like that.
For now, it’s just “see you later OiNK” not “bye OiNK”

Comment on their news article.
Sales have declined since you could illegally download music? I’ve been doing that since 1990. Haven’t heard them complain THAT long about this subject.
Glad to see that oink got rid of that ALL HAIL MUSIC INDUSTRY AS LEADER index page.
I’m really going to miss the site, the BEST tracker I’ve used.

damn, oink has some muscles ;D
sup bb, let me pay your bail.
but for real, that sucks. i’m not surprised the reporters completely fabricated the facts (excluding the one about the membership count), but it still makes me absolutely furious that they really think we were forced to pay.
i donated twice before and i’ll gladly donate again.
The text on the side of the “police car” says “Caught on camera” :D
this is bullshit oink was the best damn site ever.yeah some one might replace them but no one will ever be like that site you could always go there any time and get any thing you wanted i dont care if it was from 1920s you could find something i got the best damn shit off that site and never paid a dollor
all i did was keep my ratio in watch and have a great time
honest to god i lost a member of my life today
stand strong oink and come back we neeeeeeeed you all of us are waiting
come together man
we’ll all be here when your ready for us but obviously you dont need to alow every one you had in there because one of the peeps you trusted narced us out.so maybe bbc isnt who we should be bitching at find the narc an go mafia style on him or her no matter who it is
come back to us
peace
OMG, this bigottry! OiNK made “hundreds of thousands of pounds”? By *donations*? Bollocks!
Looks like they have no idea what it takes to run a 180000 user site. Bunch of assholes.
Oink4eva come on you go and put up 50 damn sites for replacementi checked out alot of them and even with all them put together its not as good as OINK was
OINK set a bar unreachable for any site no one will be as great as OINK

That is true, but in the meantime, your welcome :)
demonoid is like shopping at a walmart. ugh. i guess i can but now i’m such a music snob i need all my shit in v0. :*(
dude…i really hope they come back…somehow…all u haters are jealous that you didnt get invited and now u bash them for running a well kept site….go keep playing with ur demonoid and other stupid shit where ull most likely get a virus …i hope someone hacks you
im really pleased the sysadmin got released, at the end of the day thats the important thing.
As a long-standing member I send shouts and love to OiNK and all the crew from OPP, it was a great community.. it’s a shame the corporate whores completely missed all the good points about it and got wrapt up in their “potential lost profits”. Thus, we see greed destroys another community. I hope you die in a fire MP3 police.
Between Demonoid and Oink it’s a sad fall for file sharing the world over. We need to build more heads on the hydra folks!
It’s good to hear he’s release; I’m waiting for OiNK v2.0
“potential loss” is NOT the same as “actual loss”
Record/video industry needs some serious bitchslapping
I just hope he doesn’t get fired from his job. I’m sure I heard his employers were raided. Also if he was making hundreds of thousands of pounds, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be living in a flat in Middlesbourgh.
[quote comment="193680"]why didnt he pay the police like i do?
stupid pig![/quote]
because we dont live in poor ass mexico like you
[quote comment="193804"][quote comment="193707"]“illegally downloading music onto his website”
