The six individuals who are arrested for allegedly sharing music on the OiNK BitTorrent tracker, are due to report to police at the start of July. The five men and one woman, who are suspected of conspiring to defraud the music industry, will have their bail extended. Unsurprisingly, the police need more time to make their case.

they had servers but they never kept any files their as far as i know.but you know the government will try anything to shut down trackers because when the music or movies industry complains they are afraid they won't get by paid...

I don't know where you got that info, but that would seem higly improbable because they aren't allowed to do that. Moreover it would be pointless. You can't stop a tracker by erasing some HDD.

Cleveland police initially stated that the charges against Alan would be announced December 2007, but this was soon postponed for two months, only to be postponed again this May. The police did return OiNK’s servers however, but not before they had erased the hard drives.

:smile:

and you're right, i doubt it will have deleted oink forever... as zatoicchi said there must be surely a backup around
