Police Swoop To Close Down Illegal Website (from The Northern Echo)

MSP · 10-23-2007, 06:14 AM

I was briefly a member of Oink, just great. I'm sure I'm now on a fed watch list.

mistawiskas · 10-23-2007, 06:21 AM

There's going to be a crackdown, everyone knew it'd happen sooner or later. you can blame the movie and/or recording industry if you like. Bottom line is,
taking and passing along something for free, that was never intended to be "for free" will end sooner or later. Looks like it may be sooner in some cases.

Yeah, certain stuff I download that I would never actually buy. And in some cases a download has resulted in a purchase! Such was the case with Oblivion. I downloaded and played it and like it so well that I'll be buying the GOTY edition shortly.

Chris · 10-23-2007, 01:26 PM

Lol, I like how they try to scare people on the main site, saying they're going after users.

It'll never hold up in a court of law, or maybe it would due to complete ignorance. But unless they have proof of your IP being connected to a tracker while downloading 'illegal' content, they can never prove what you downloaded was legal or illegal.

For example, I'm a big MSTRKRFT fan, and Jesse from MSTRKRFT posts some of their remixes on that site and lets fans download them completely free. None of the remixes are protected under any RIAA bullshit. So, there's no way they can come after you (or I) for downloading 1-200MB of non-RIAA protected stuff. They just can't prove it.

You have no idea what the Oink servers tracked.. For all you know, they could track each person's IP address, times, what they uploaded/downloaded, etc. I never used Oink, but I'm sure they had some kind of ratio system, so who knows what else they did track.

Mr. Ali · 10-23-2007, 06:35 PM

ah, yes, its good to be part of closed bittorrent sites that dont give out invites.

MSP · 10-23-2007, 07:42 PM

My question is how long before they go after PirateBay? Aren't their servers located in Sealand, aka international waters?

hans5849 · 10-23-2007, 09:09 PM

TPB is safe, they have been raided before and found to not be in violation.

Jishory · 10-24-2007, 01:30 AM

well that sucks, i had a good ratio too, hope the webmaster doesnt get in too much trouble
