OiNK Servers Raided!

Posted on 23.10.2007 at 12:08 in Tech News by Shiny

According to TorrentFreak one of the, if not the most popular music torrent sites, OiNK has been brought offline with their servers raided and the admin ‘OiNK’ a 24 year old Briton arrested. At the time of writing the site is unresponsive, so it looks like the reports are true, further proof is that the IFPI has put out a statement on the raid as well as the police confirming the arrest. Read more here.

R.I.P. :(

    This was a very good site. I really doubt there will be a similar tracker any time soon :(

  19. Reardon
    October 23rd, 2007 | 12:43

    Good riddance. The admins were a bunch of f@cktards and evidently got what was coming to them. It wouldn’t surprise me if the raid was a direct result of their lousy attitude and rudeness toward one or more of their own members.

    Bunch of pricks.

    OMG! That’s a real tragedy. OiNK was one of the best tracker sites, real good stuff. And the invite system was pretty cool, not so much n00bs. ;)

    Anyway, I hope that they will have a relaunch sometime. :´(

  34. Reardon
    October 23rd, 2007 | 13:37

    There won’t be a site relaunch. The only launching that’s going to be happening is that of Bubba’s member into the former OINK owners ass whilst he clings on to the bars of his cell!

    October 23rd, 2007 | 13:46

    naw.. isn’t this cute, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of hating a site they’ve never used.

    FYI I never paid a cent during the three years I’ve used the site. Sure the Admins were really strict, but that and the fact that it was private kept the quality of the rips real good and I got hold of a lot of rare albums that there was no way of getting hold in other ways, even by paying.

    really, writing comments like “got what was coming to him” on another torrent site you yourself are using is hypocrisy

  42. RIP Oink!
    October 23rd, 2007 | 13:46

    Was a member for years - great site for music and apps.
    Never had to pay a penny, didn’t know anyone who ever did.
    Each member got a number of invites thay could give out to others freely.
    Invites were mine to give to whomever I wanted.

    NO FEES INVOLVED!

    Shame on BBC - Radio 1 news just said ‘he was thought to have made hundreds of thousands from selling invites’!!!!!!

    RIP.

    that just proves that BBC is as much controlled as the jew CNN or the far right Fox. No difference here.

    Besides, if you have your music taste higher than the mainstream crap, oink was the best site.

    never paid here, just kept the upload ratio in positive.

    so sue me!

  45. SciFi (staff)
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:03

    heard of them but I rarely download music. I personally don’t see the logic in spending 2yrs on an investigation and probably millions of dollars just to take down a site that inevitably will cause the surge in members to look elsewhere and make some other site famous and make it reach the status of the one fallen.

    continued…

  46. Cata RapidForever
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:08

    That’s why torrent server should only be establised in Canada or Romania or any other country where torrent is legal.I live in Romania and i’m proud that i can download as many torents as i want because the law can harm me.
    LONG LIVE THE LIBERTY!!!!
    P.S Real hachersw are more important in my country,so if you want torrents to live ,go and rob a bank ,steal some FBI secret documents :)

    This sucks big time- Oink was the greatest- I can’t fathom what all you haters are on about.
    Probably could never get an invite. (which were not for sale btw BBC)

  50. oink
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:12

    ppl on sites like this always hate private trackers for they have to give something back to the community where as most of rlslog “readres” are 13 year old noob leechers.

  51. QuadrupelQ
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:31

    BOOM!!! Another one bites the dust.

    Face it people, torrent sites are falling one by one. Better keep d’loading while you can because it won’t last forever…

    And YES, Oink accounts where for sale. Not by Oink staff, but by the members themselves. Don’t dump on the BBC because you don’t like the subject. That’s just ignorant.

  52. Ashwin staff member
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:40

    They’ve put up the message now:
    The website http://www.oink.cd you are trying to visit is unreachable.

    For reasons please visit news channels on google or related.

    Btw, I’m positive that OiNK will rise.

  53. welcome to the internets!
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:45

    never cared for private sites anyway … money making scams. getting paid to host links to stuff that others provide for free. I mean making some money for servers and some of the time put in is fine by me. but not to get rich off it.

  54. Tosspots
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:48

    It really makes me laugh when MEMBERS (in more ways than one) think they are that much higher than the rest of us Public Tracker monkees. Just because they call you a VIP/Moderator….”add names to boost ego here” you get right on up your own arses about noobs….feck off, you are no better than us, and we could all get the same stuff anmyway. So just feck off and grow up. Im gald, its just another “They will never get us” sites, that got too big for its own good….NEXT

    R.i.P. though.

  56. deathfish
    October 23rd, 2007 | 14:53

    yes, but sales of invites would cause you to lose your own acc. and from the total donations listed on the page I doubt there was much left after paying server fees.

    well what do you expect when you host a big music torrent site in the uk for 2 years ?

    oink was a stupid to do it and he only put himself in the hotspot

  62. Tzu
    October 23rd, 2007 | 15:17

    For the record, OiNK was not a money making scheme, it was a site for sharing high quality music that you could not get anywhere else, in many cases you couldn’t even buy the stuff that was available there, suck as rare old jazz records. I believe that the majority of the users were, as I am, music lovers who found many new artists during their stay in the community, and who spent quite a lot of cash on albums, lp’s, merchandise and concerts, all benefiting said artists. If there ever was a piracy site that did more good than harm, this was it.

    And as for the admins, they were strict but fair, exactly what was needed to keep the quality of the tracker above any competition.

    R.I.P. OiNK’s, I enjoyed my stay over the last 2-3years.

  63. Tosspots
    October 23rd, 2007 | 15:19

    spider

    You sum up that site, just because they had some releases that none of the other sites had, suddenly you think you work for SONY. Feck off and get a real life, I bet 99% of the files ended up somewhere else anyway. and what do I want FLAC for, if I liked the music that much, I would buy it anway. And if the relases were not that available, it would have been a wank band anyway.

    Godam anti piracy agency’s… Dont attack the little people, go after the big record companies that earns Milions and milions of dollars on small music artists, the records are way to expensive to buy and something needs to be done.

    The BBC has not been independent for a long time. It seems to be a requirement for BBC staff to be card carrying members of the Labour party, or British hating.
    Their reporting has become somewhat of a joke, and now they are even stealing from viewers by rigging telephone votes.
