OiNK.CD Taken down
The massively popular private tracker OiNK.CD has been taken down through a collaboration of the British and worldwide music industries. The torrent site, notorious for being the place where pre-retail released albums surfaced, had thousands upon thousands of members, making it probably the largest private torrent site around.
The standard raids of the property of the owner and his relations were performed, with a 24 year old man from Middlesbourgh being arrested. He was then later released, and has stated that he does not believe the message now residing on the OiNK domain, informing users that they are under inspection, will come to any consequence.
More on the story as it comes.
The higher you get, the harder you fall.
But when OiNK should have thought of certain security measures to prevent this from happening…

Oink was a great site, and an example for the music industry, who lack innovation and keep sticking to businnes concepts which worked 50 years a go but are now outdated.
