I don't think they'll come after any of the members. The common logic for any kind of 'organized crime' situation is that once the leader is taken care of, their followers will disperse. Just don't go trying to recreate a site like OiNK and you'll be fine.

Yeah, and sucks. Fuck, this really sucks. Just earlier I was thinking to myself "Man, I hope I can somehow manage to get the new CunninLynguists album faster than others so I can up it first and help my ratio out."

I thought you were basically a fucking idiot if you didn't host your tracker in Sweden. There's the knowledge that Sweden has a big loophole in their laws and that there's a really big tracker that publicly mocks all copyright infringement notices — let alone makes a movie about anti-copyright — and you go and fucking host your site in the Netherlands. Deserved to get shut down.

You need to use PeerGuardian. The PirateBay is located in Sweden, but you're not, so you're vulnerable.

this is fucking terrible. i just got an invite 2 monthes ago, and have been so happy with oink.
i was about.50 from power user too:( i wish i at least downloaded all my queues last night before they took it out.
think users have anything to worry about?
"A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site's users"
what i dont get is mentions of porno taking it down...there was no porno on oink.....
anything comporable for music? do we think oink users will convert to another site, and bring it to life?

I was snatching all sorts of stuff yesterday.... must have happened after I went to bed. Damn, and I had a good ratio on that site, too. That site had fuckin' GEMS! I got all sorts of crazy early psychedelic rock from Oink. I don't know if I could find that stuff anywhere else

Logout and log back in your Demonoid account. I had to do that when I got a new IP address from my ISP. Works again.

all the big scene sites on IRC broke up within last few years because everyone just used oink...now all you find on irc is kids with yousendit links to music they got on oink.....
this is terribly detrimental to the online music community, what private file sharing program or site will be next is what we need to focus on....fuck demonoid.

This is a huge blow to the music community in general, OiNK housed some of the most creative and inspiring gems that otherwise would have remained lost if not for their torrents

Absolutely bro! That what made that place shine.... all the out-of-print, obscure labels, old bands... the type of music the Industry wrote off years ago.
And most of the streams/clusters were fast & healthy.

OiNK Investigation Seeks Identities and Activities of Users
OiNK, one of the world’s most popular trackers has been shutdown. Now, in the hours immediately following the closure, the site is responding but displaying an ominous message indicating an investigation into the site’s users has begun.
The message currently on the OiNK page is as follows:

Many of OiNK’s users have been enquiring if their details are safe on the site. The message: “A criminal investigation continues into the identities and activities of the site’s users” will not exactly fill them with confidence.
However, everyone in the BitTorrent world will be familiar with the propaganda put out by anti-piracy organizations and many will be familiar with a similar situation a few years ago when the LokiTorrent tracker was closed and seemingly none of the users were tracked down. Fear, uncertainty and doubt - it’s all part of the anti-p2p strategy but it’s hugely doubtful that 180,000 users will be pursued, it’s just not cost effective and most are scattered around the globe.
According to whois.sc, the visitors to the site are split: United States 50.7%, United Kingdom 7%, Canada 6%, Sweden 3.2%, Germany 2.7% and Netherlands at just 1.9%. Although of questionable accuracy, these figures should give at least an idea of the trend on the site.
Clearly the statement on the homepage is designed to scare all the ex-OiNK members back into the record shops and not let them think it’s safe to join another tracker. That strategy has been tried before (You Can Click But You Can’t Hide) and it doesn’t work. Additionally, more and more people are choosing to protect their privacy with VPN services such as VPNTunnel and Relakks, finding that a small investment is worth the peace of mind in the long run.
So who are the players in this OiNK takedown?
Most people know about the IFPI - The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. This organization says it represents the worldwide interests of the recording industry with the backing of nearly 1,500 record businesses in 75 countries. Its main aim is to fight piracy.
The BPI - British Phonographic Industry is similar to the RIAA in the US. It’s made up of hundreds of music businesses and fronted by the ‘big four’ - EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner. Created in 1973, its stated main aim is to combat piracy.
The FIOD-ECD - Fiscal Investigation Unit of the Dutch Police is a worrying inclusion to the list of people involved in the closure of OiNK. FIOD-ECD is a Dutch government agency dedicated to chasing down people alleged to be involved in fiscal, financial and economic fraud - usually major criminals. With these people involved, getting access to records from hosts wouldn’t have proven too difficult - FIOD-ECD are not just another BREIN, they have some serious powers.
People familiar with the ShareConnector and Releases4u cases in the Netherlands will remember the involvement of FIOD-ECD. The case took over 2 years to come to court and the result was a complete failure for them. The admin of ShareConnector got off completely and a couple of small fines (around $350) were handed out to the admins of Releases4U for uploading copyright material. Additionally, FIOD-ECD failed to provide enough evidence to prove ShareConnector was involved in copyright infringement nor enough to prove that either organization was criminal in nature.
Many people will be keeping their fingers crossed that the progress against OiNK mirrors this.
Following a 2 year investigation (or 3 month investigation, depending on the source) which involved Interpol, Police are insisting that OiNK was a pay site. Members were given the option to donate but this insistence that OiNK was some sort of criminal network where people paid to be a member is clearly untrue but it’s likely that this is the reason the real police (as opposed to the ‘copyright police’) and FIOD-ECD are involved.
Jeremy Banks of the IFPI said: “This was not a case of friends sharing music for pleasure.”
Yes it was Jeremy.
