OINK | Popular Bit Torrent Site Shut Down

The OiNK offices have been raided and the website has been completely shut down. The site, which was members-only and operated a strict invite and torrent seeding policy, was a hotspot for early album leaks. Here's the story:

British and Dutch police shut down one of the world's largest sources of illegal pre-release music on Tuesday and arrested a 24-year-old man.

The raids in Amsterdam and the northeast English city of Middlesbrough followed a two-year investigation into a members-only Web site, www.OiNK.cd, which allowed users to upload and download albums before their release.
