Anyone else heard of http://www.stmusic.org ?
It's open for registration, and whilst it's nowhere near as comprehensive as Oink, it does have 14 thousand albums up.
That said, it's hosted by leaseweb, the same company that hosted Oink.

Pussy. In for a penny... 
how does that scrubber thingy work then?subversplat said:Anyone worried about getting "busted" can do the following:
Get www.truecrypt.org and install it
Make a virtual hard drive big enough to put all your naughty stuff in (use a nice big password, a whole sentence would do - especially one with numbers "my dog is 7 years old next september" would be a nice one to remember, iyswim)
Put all your files in said hard drive
Optional: Delete your entire OS installation and install from scratch
Give your disk a scrub: http://www.webmasterfree.com/Hard_Disk_Scrubber_2.0_d1472.html
Laugh at the feds
While it may be possible to get various bits of data back with a multi-million pound setup and electron microsocopes, I highly doubt that they would bother for some low-level copyright infringement

I could easily call my latest family photo album "Dire Straits Greatest Hits" or whatever I wanted, it wouldn't make it Dire Straits Greatest Hits though, and the criminal legal system works on beyond reasonable doubt.sleaterkinney said:

It fills your hard drive up and empties it again a whole load of times with random information, which makes file retrieval programmes useless.wishface said:

I don't think a jury would see it like that, besides, they would have been up on the network downloading files for a while to get evidence to prosecute anyway.subversplat said:

Have many users been prosecuted in Europe for sharing? I can't remember any other than some Swede one time.

There's already another music site linked in this threadRogue said:

Yes, I signed up for that, although it's looking shaky. Doesn't seem to be working well...
subversplat said:There's already another music site linked in this thread
Yeah I saw that - I'll have a look at it.
However the amount of electronic music I was just discovering on Oink was unrivaled from my 1 week stay on the site.
Plus the amount of Lossless files was incredible and a lot of the functionality was superb - like users who downloaded this also downloaded this.
I also found the d/l speeds were very very fast.
i was wondering this. in fact there i was thinking 'i wonder how secure this site is...tralalala!'Structaural said:
I can't think of any other sites like this being shut down so i don't know what then happened if anything.
There was some young teenage girl from Britain (bristol iirc, her name might hav been emily) who got into the news and into hot water for downloading mp3's. She got a massive fine, as a rather lurid example set by the powers that be. Don't ever recall what happened with that as the story disappeared.

Fucking hell, would you calm down? You're at just about buggerall risk.

well then the risk is tiny and the oink guy will probably get off on a technicality as he was doing nothing illegal really. They've raided Pirate Bay numerous times, Demonoid three or four times and they're all back and no-one has been prosecuted for bitorrent sharing so far - only kazaar.

The Oink.cd website now says
I reckon we'll all be OK...they are scaremongering. They've got a nice televised arrest of an evil profiteering webmaster and made their bold statement all over Radio 1. I don’t think PC Plod of Cleveland will bother wasting resources on the rest of us.

Look at it this way - it's taken the police nearly 8 years to wade through the 7,000 or so UK residents caught out in Operation Ore - and they'd actually committed a pretty heinous crime.
The likelyhood of the police going anywhere near Oink users has got to be slim to none.
Even sending out settlement notices from FACT or similar to users would take a hell of a lot of time and effort.
