ONiK Admin Arrested!

In other news, The Pirate Bay has decided to create bOiNK. This is no joke. :thumbsup1:

The Pirate Bay is currently working on an OiNK replacement in an attempt to bring the hundreds of thousands of music albums back online that disappeared during the raid. The replacement will be released within a week and on the BOiNK.cd domain.

 

BOiNK will be a little different from OiNK. For instance, the tracker will be public and it will start out with a lot less torrents than OiNK had when it was raided. The success of BOiNK will mainly depend on the former OiNK community, who will be asked to upload their old OiNK torrents.

 

The most important thing about BOiNK is perhaps the message it sends out to the IFPI and the BPI: It shows that that if you stop one tracker, others will pop up days after. It is a hydra. Call it a slap in the face if you want.

 

BOiNK will probably be ready in a few days. People from the Pirate Bay, Mininova, TorrentFreak and even the recently arrested (and released) OiNK admin are currently at The Oil of the 21st Century conference where they are - among other things - discussing filesharing, culture and copyright related issues.

 

BOiNK is a Pirate Bay only project, OiNK and other BitTorrent sites are not involved.

 

In the meantime, please stay away from scam sites that pretend to be related to OiNK. All they will do is take your money and run away. As soon as there’s an approved donation campaign (if there will be any) we will report it here.

holy moly, I doubt it will be as good as they say oink was, since its going to be on a public tracker.

There is no way in hell it'll be better than ONiK, but they'll definitely give it their best. For example, when SuprNova came back up a few weeks ago, everyone was jubilant with pleasure. Now people ask, "Suprnova? Why would I want to use that site?"

I never heard of that place before.

 

Sounds pretty messed up to me. But i agree with robert mentioning that music should be free after being around for no more than 10yrs. I think its quite silly how someone could setup something like that. It just doesn't make any sense. Obviously your the owner people can just look up your domain or host and find out where you live, your bound to get busted.

 

Also i've been noticing alot of Raid'ing lately. Smells fishy....
