OiNK, for those of you how may not know, was like the Pitchfork of Torrent sites, except more exclusive. OiNK was an invite only site, and unlike Demonoid, did not have open enrollment periods. And much like how Pitchfork is often the first place to find music news that will later trickle down via other blogs, word of mouth, etc., OiNK was the first place to find leaked albums. It was also, supposedly, a goldmine for anything hard to find. Those of you with with huge appetites for World music but lack a big pocketbook are probably weeping as we speak, but I digress. From OiNK, the more generous users would spread the albums to other torrent sites, message boards, P2P servers, and so forth.
But, just like we would pick up Pitchfork's slack if it were to ever go under, there are plenty of other torrent sites out there ready and waiting, so all of you pirates reading this probably have nothing to worry about, except for that whole possibility of being on the wrong end of a lawsuit thing.
