If only I'd known, I would have driven my ratio to like .01 on a DL rampage.

Likewise. I wanted to get Aphex Twin's Analord stuff this morning, then I go to OiNK and it's all "criminal investigation", now I have to deal with Soulseek and all that public torrent shit again...I want my fucking V0 >:|

I've been looking for an invite because I really cannot get soulseek to work but I guess I'll have to now. =[ =[ =[ =[

Now the question is...will they go after individual users?

I did what it said but it's still not doing anything, I think I'll just stick with bittorrent.

The same thing happened with me.

Unless, can you actually GET download speeds? I can, just that it's so slow that even bittorrent could download a 1gb file quicker.

Nah, mine just never started.

If anyone has any unused Demonoid invites that they'd be willing to give to me I'd appreciate it a lot.

Trent Reznor had an account on OiNK


What do you think about OiNK being shut down?
Trent: I'll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store. Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted. If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn't the equivalent of that in the retail space right now. iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc. Amazon has potential, but none of them get around the issue of pre-release leaks. And that's what's such a difficult puzzle at the moment. If your favorite band in the world has a leaked record out, do you listen to it or do you not listen to it? People on those boards, they're grateful for the person that uploaded it — they're the hero. They're not stealing it because they're going to make money off of it; they're stealing it because they love the band. I'm not saying that I think OiNK is morally correct, but I do know that it existed because it filled a void of what people want.

Seriously, someone tell me where I'm supposed to go instead.

I heard about that. I guarantee the RIAA will be going after him now.

Yeah, but you know what they should do before they do that? Think fucking sensibly. He could damn near buy the RIAA.

I get quite a bit of stuff from Spiralfrog. They don't always have the latest music, but they have a pretty large database and it's free, legal music.
