airtaco Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi guys; My friend just gave me an Oink invite - and it's great. The ease at which I've gotten these cds is nothing short of mind-blowing. But I have to ask: how is this any different from download sites such as Napster and Lime Wire? Do people from Oink get fined by the RIAA? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Downloading commercial releases is still illegal. I don't know whether people at Oink get pursued by the RIAA, but I haven't heard anything about it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nutop Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Oink is a private tracker (ie: what you're downloading isn't made public, just inside the community).. It's about as safe as you can get as far as downloading music using BitTorrent . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yeah, but can a court order pry that information loose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sureshot Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 its only a matter of time before the RIAA goes after them. I think they probably havent yet just because it represents such a small portion of illegal file sharing. But they are no doubt aware of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I guess I screwed the pooch when the RIAA asked me for an invitation and I gave them one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I guess I screwed the pooch when the RIAA asked me for an invitation and I gave them one...Did they promise to keep up a good ratio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I wonder how many RIAA employees download stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 i used to work for an RIAA member. most RIAA affiliates get promos out the ears, so free music is part of the job. i quit before the downloading scourge, but i would imagine free music is free music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 A couple of thread you could posted this in. It is never going to be legal to snag music without paying for it - outside of a band letting people download songs with their permission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 A couple of thread you could posted this in. You know if you are going to be up on a soap box about starting threads/searching, you should at least filter your search example. I mean come on, Now Playing, Ryan Adams, Icky Thump and New Spoon July 10th are not really representative of "threads you could post this in". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airtaco Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 A couple of thread you could posted this in. It is never going to be legal to snag music without paying for it - outside of a band letting people download songs with their permission. Perhaps ONE of those threads applies to my threads' subject matter; the rest either have to do with Oink invitations or subjects having nothing to do with the one at hand. Lighten up.

EL the Famous Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I was in a hurry - I usually do. Deputy Web Sheriff's meeting you had to get to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Bottom line - it's probably not even a good idea to have threads about Oink or whatever. People do get busted - particularly college kids doing such things on campus networks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
