OiNK Makes a Statement Which Seems to Support the BitTorrent Hydra
Written by Ernesto on October 27, 2007After being hijacked by the police for a few days, OiNK.cd returned to its rightful owner. The tracker won’t return anytime soon but Oink.cd is now linking to a Google search that links to a list of private BitTorrent trackers.
Brokep wrote an article today summing up some of the alternatives to OiNK. Soon after that the OiNK admin updated the frontpage of the waffle site and put up a link to a Google search that leads to Brokep’s article: what to use instead of oink.
So basically, OiNK.cd is now linking to a google search result that links to a blog entry by Brokep that lists several private music trackers that have links (torrents) to copyrighted music albums.
The point OiNK is making here is that Google is no different from OiNK - both sites link to infringing content - something he earlier told Telegraph. The big question is: “is linking illegal?”
Besides making a statement, the revived OiNK website is also supporting “the hydra“. The problem the BitTorrent community has currently, is that a few big sites carry the majority of the weight. Resources need to be spread around in a manner which ensures that a few ‘big bombs’ are unable to dismantle major parts of the infrastructure, and by supporting smaller trackers to grow, the hydra will become even more invincible.
They can take one BitTorrent tracker down but others will grow. OiNK was without a doubt the most popular music BitTorrent tracker, but now its down, smaller trackers will be eager to fill the gap.
Update: The old index2.html was also transferred, with a few updates of course. Check the page source if you want a laugh, they actually used MS Word as their html editor.

Waffleswaffleswaffles and jam!

Because it was fixed.
the OiNK.cd link seems to still open the hijacked page, whilst http://www.oink.cd works
But, what do I use instead of pink? :(
Works fine for me. I’m on open dns , so it may update quicker then your isp’s craptop dns server.
looool
The problem with many small trackers is the selection of links. You can find more links on a large tracker which has a wide variety of links instead of having to search many small trackers to find a link.
Maybe there is a way to span a tracker over multiple servers and still have a central ratio database or something like that?
LMAFO!
LONG LIVE OINK AND TPB!
Fuck You Riaa and co.
ahahahahahahaha
Danny:
Laughing my ass fucking off?
hmm….
Hooray for Crappy seeds! PB leave OiNK the fuck alone. It was great while it lasted, but if it’s anything like the clusterfuck that is the PB it’s better off just to let it die.
Focus on improving your own website before opening more.
Any more new about Pirate Bay supposedly getting raided?
lmao @ TonyStack

They’re all pink on the inside…
Someone needs to create a BT tracker like Usenet, with multiple servers with the same data, spread over the planet, that update each other, then we’ll be unstoppable.
Wow! A google link was just added to the OiNK.CD site!
Suggestions for coming news:
* Former OiNK admin drives a Volvo.
* Somebody said something about OiNK, unclear what.
* OiNK backwards spells KNiO.

Hey! That’s almost Kino, which I think is a video editing program! OiNK must be planning to make a movie site! SPREAD THE RUMOUR!
Someone deleted my fucking post of this awesome article. I don’t know why but every music fan should read it.

OiNK doesn’t make a statement at all.
he just wants to say:
“look at them! they are as bad as
me! why don’t they get arrested?
it’s not fair! uhaaaa uhaaaaaa!!!”
freaking baby. get over it. if you are to dumb to protect your own freaking ass it’s not our fault.
it’s not a hydra. it’s a parasite, a disease of badly moderated, attention seeking public sites full of pop-ups and flashing adverts.
Good article Adamit. In short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zTPDVkVFOs
lol index2 is epic.
me and a few others are working on a new site/tracker, and should be up and running shortly, mostly we need a place to host it, that wont get raided, lol guess we will wait and see.
@9
that sounds like an interesting idea, they raid one and the rest pick up the slack, with little or no interuptions.
Unity a VERY powerfull force.

What? TPB has adverts and popups?
Wait… You’re saying adverts and popups exist these days? I haven’t seen any in years. Firefox + Privoxy + Adblock.
Anyway, if you don’t like TPB, it’s pretty easy to avoid. Just don’t… Torrent at all :P

Good luck. The community needs to be decentralized, not with a few big trackers but with a few big trackers and a whole lot of other sized trackers :D
Perhaps its an idea to have a template of a torrent tracker, and distribute that template via bittorrent, so that creating new sites is extremely easy.
