crazzyyfool Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 British and Dutch police have shut down one of the world's biggest sources of illegally-downloaded music. A flat on Teesside and several properties in Amsterdam were raided as part of an Interpol investigation into the members-only website OiNK. The UK-run site has leaked 60 major pre-release albums this year alone, said the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

HackBook Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It's a shame that Piracy is treated like a big major crime such as rape or murder. In reality, it isn't. The only people that suffer are the music companies, however they don't see this as an opportunity to lower their prices ,so that people won't have to download as much as they do. Obviously I am not suggesting that piracy will ever be stopped, because I know it won't, but if they did decide to reduce their prices, then people may decide to actually buy music a bit more than they do now. Am I sad to see OiNK go? Well, yes I am. However we all know that someone will have some sense and resurrect the site, but move the servers somewhere remote so that there is less chance of being caught. Heck, The Pirate Bay and Demonoid made their comebacks, and so did SuprNova, so OiNK might not be dead yet.
