As a former Oink user, I can tell you you're misinformed.
-->It was an English site. It just used Dutch servers.
-->Registration was free, but you had to be invited by an existing member. You COULD donate if you liked.
-->It wasn't dedicated to pre-released music, it was dedicated to ALL music. A few users may have uploaded pre-released music, but it wasn't as though it was an epidemic.
Just because that's how it was reported on TV does not mean it is fact. Sorry to pop your bubble.
This guy has o idea what he's talking about Oink was an invite only torrent site with a ratio, plain and simple. It was the best music torrent site on the net and it will be greatly missed. I hope another one pops up soon as this was a great site in discovering great unknown music.
I was a member of that site I am 13 I never uploaded shit it was a free site you didnt not have to keep your account active go die please learn the fuck what you are talking about
wow...everyone sure is crying it out here about not being able to d'load their new Kanye West CD....cause I am sure that is what most of you were stealing right? Of course not. You ever think that most of the artists whose pre releases you upload and share may need $10.00 of you moms hard earned money? If you love the music go buy the album, go to shows, give them hand jobs backstage, whatever...but don't support their shit getting stolen.
Dude, you dont know what your talking about. Your like the others that believe the news and what they say. Go watch the movie for V for Vendetta and maybe you will learn not to believe anything you read. OiNK will be back in some way or some form, and you cant stop it ever. We are human, we meet, interact , and mulitple in numbers everyday.
wow you don't know what you're even talking about when you speak of oink. get your facts else where rather than the media. you are regurgitating the same bullshit.
You said it was *focussed* on pre-released content. It never was and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about; you're just repeating the line you've been fed by the police and the IFPI.
Pre-release stuff was never released to OiNK first, there's a closed pirate release scene beyond bittorrent that has existed for years before this practice became mainstream and they're the ones with established label/promo links.
Sounds like you used TV links and you're finding it easier to defend them, in my opinion.
Is he trolling on purpose, or just stupid?

You don't know what you are talking about, you didn't have to prove anything or upload anything.

WHAT?
Get your facts straight.
Links are not illegal.
OiNK only contained links making it no more guilty than google.
Google guilty? oh no you say!!
Well.... google "michael jackson torrent" for example.
Look at the results!!
Is google guilty too?
Should it be taken down/owner arrested, Thrown in jail and fined?

naturally, as these things go, pre-released content is eventually released.
