“Groovy Motherfucker”

Hurrah! The founder of OiNK’s Pink Palace found not-guilty of fraud. So in summary, by getting OiNK shut down, the music industry have achieved: Pissing off a large community of music lovers and no conviction. Good work fellas!

Oink points to Google which points to a blog post which points torrent trackers which point to music.

Excellent article from a musician about the loss of OiNK. OiNK was run by and for music geeks — I’d be willing to bet that CD purchasing by OiNK members is higher on average than the general population — and primarily acted as the kind of complete music archive that the music industry doesn’t have the skill, inclination or cojones to create themselves.

OiNK is raided. *sigh*. /me expects RIAA letter in 5.. 4.. 3..
