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.

[quote comment="198037"]http://oink.cx.la
it is not tracker’s page just simple html. Oink was based on TBDev source code. so all trackers have almost same code gramatic structure.
this one looks as simple html.
please avoid this fake.[/quote]
So is this page and what it says all a bunch of hub’ub or what? Cause OiNKv2 would be the shit.
I don’t get it how did ppl like #52 learn to write??

Pathetic lier.
@ post 49
thanks for the links
I can’t believe ppl are actually believing that Oink will ever exist again.
For your own sakes, you better hope it doesnt. Its dead, move on. Thats my advice.
There will be others, so let tha damn site die and allow a new breed to be born. Specifically NOT AND OINKv2 site.
Have you learned nothing? Don’t believe everything you read…
Ex-mod Paine has updated his list of current scamsites:

well that scam site has 53,325 donations…so I guess someone is rich or OiNK is really coming back.
All sites asking for $ to resurrect OPP are fake! How many times does this need to be said?
i would donate to oink.cx.la if it were real it looks sketchy. oinkv2 looks like it could save my life again i will donate after it officialy opens again (if it ever does)
”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?”
Similar situation happend over at TV-links. They just pointed to the infringing material, not actually host it. The only diffrence between a search engine such as google and oink/other similar sites is that it’s actually pointing out the offending material, and that, as far as I know isn’t against the law.
Above was posted by me ^^

I agree. Totally looks sketchy now, and when I opened it last a pop up came up, which is something that OiNK would never allow. So it’s not looking good.
oink is being replaced by another brand new tracker which has come from nothing to be pretty huge in the space of a day, certainly not called oinkv2 or anything obvious like that. those in the know, know.

LOL.
hey check out http://tunebully.com - new community site… great place to upload your files…. as they say help the smaller sites grow… easy to edit your post add pics an even video :D
Scam the tracker with a Tor IP if you feel iffy.
Having the pirate bay reopening all closed torrent sites is hardly a hydra effect. It is only to keep all the eggs in one basket.
I really want some Waffles now…
Is the term “Hydra” just a concept or is this the name of a technology
that has been or is being developed?
Heres what I want to see:
Decentralized distributed bittorrent trackers.
Imagine if you could start running a tracker and within a short period
of time you would be running a tracker with a torrent index equal to
that of thepiratebay (plus every other tracker in the world)…
Basically when you join the cluster, all the other servers in the
world will update you, sort of like when you start downloading files
in a torrent, all the other peers start sending to you.
Is there something like this already?

i wanna know…I loved OiNK, and OiNK loved me.
Heh, anyone notice how ‘The Hydra’ resembles how global insurgencies work?
Anyway, good news :o
