Comments on: Two OiNK Uploaders Go Free http://torrentfreak.com/two-oink-uploaders-go-free-080729/ Breaking File-sharing, Copyright and Privacy News Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:45:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.2 By: yannee /two-oink-uploaders-go-free-080729/#comment-474201 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:30:21 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/?p=3373#comment-474201 I think I can shed some light on the reason for one of the parties bail being cancelled. As I am genetically once removed ( I’ll let you work that one out) from one of those “accused”, the computer of the female in question was, on one occasion, used to access the Oink site by the said “accused”. This is of course only “hearsay” evidence (Ahem!)
Such is the efficiency of the police that she is in fact 18yrs. old, not 28 as reported, and the original bail notice of the said “accused” showed his home address as his former place of work, even though he had clearly written down his correct home address. Makes you proud to be British, doesn’t it? I’m actually beginning to think that perhaps the Portuguese police aren’t that bad after all!
By the way, the said “accused” committed the heinous crime of uploading ONE album which he bought online, on pre-order, from a recognised High Street name, and which, unusually, arrived through the post 2 days before the due release date (they usually arrive on the day of release)—hence the upload was also 2 days early, which we assume triggered the police involvement.
It seems to me that the police are “under instructions” to bring in a result–any result!–to avoid the BPI or whoever ending up yet again with egg on their face.
Ah well, I’ll just go and check whether my car has been vandalised yet again. Happy days!

You know what would be really helpful: get in touch with these two people, and find out what they know.

What evidence was shown to them? How did they get caught? Are the oink user database and logs freely readable? Is any one else in the firing line? What preventative measures should an oink user take before there’s a knock on the door? etc.

You do what we do. Run! I mean you run your arse off.

The BIGGEST copywright infringers EVER are the police i worked with in West Mids (UK) for 5 years. We would regularly trade copied dvds to each other, i would download and handout to pals…i would get requests…hell…even in Ryton police training college before i had even passed entry we were shows “pirated” tv shows such as The Secret Policeman” and other stuff recorded off telly.
In fact at one point i had a bag in my locker with at least 20 various cams and dvd rips in…and i assure you i was not the only. I had at least 1 request a day to explain “how can i get free music on my ipod”.
If ever it comes to it i would be more then happy to stand up an tell that to some pointy nose Magistrate!

Whilst I totally agree with you (i.e. drop all charges, let them go), Defraud does NOT mean the opposite of fraud, no. It means to get something by fraud.

I will return the music that I borrowed one day. Hopefully I won’t forget.

Copyright infringement is like crap. People take one in the toilet and flush it away and not ever see it again.

Went to the police station
Where big little piggie
Had already been
Four little piggies
had downloaded an mp3
But two little piggies
Had none
And two little piggies cried,
“Free, free, free, free,”
All the way home

“cd’s down the front, but if you don’t have any money just get a copy off your friends. Its not stealing, its generosity”

refreshing to hear a fairly big band speaking some sense
