HAY GUYS

I just recently got an invite, and I was really happy to discover Steve Hoffman re-masters through FLAC rips on OiNK.

Was planning on buying a bunch of albums to support both Steve and the artists (not like The Beach Boys need any more money, but whatever), but fuck the RIAA, I'll be pirating the rest of his stuff that I'm interested in.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Honestly, that's like saying "The Pirate Bay is still up."

Demonoid is such a crap tracker, honestly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

as someone who likes free things, regardless of the legal gray areas, i'm sad to see this happen. And i've never used Oink.

The problem with both of these places is that by and large people act like jerks. They don't seed and people just leave torrents abandoned and then you see it full of folks whining for a seed.

They may be cool or whatever, but the experience I have downloading from both of them is miserable.

With OiNK and other more private trackers, people are respectful, seed, and come back to torrents if they are abandoned.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Honestly, my favorite thing was how they indexed bitrate in their database, and made it easily searchable. e.g. I could just type:

some search terms lossless

and it would find only lossless stuff (regardless of wether or not it was in FLAC of SHN or whatever). Demonoid sucks about that.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Elixir, why are you so hateful, so full of bile? It seems to me that you very frequently have some sort of negative, standoffish opinion befitting a James Dean wannabe.

Spoiler: Nobody cares, you don't look like a badass or a rebel.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Are you serious?

Jesus H Christ on a stick...

LeHah said it best. Illegally downloading is illegally downloading. Nothing you do later can change that or give you some sort of moral superiority.

Yes, that's illegal, and you have no "moral superiority" over people who don't do that.

I agree it was pretty loltarded of OiNK to allow pre-release music, but other than that they were a kickin' rad music tracker. I really didn't find their upload or ratio requirements strict at all, and in fact was thankful for them because of the high quality of both the torrents and the seeding that were found there as a result.

If you want to be a cock monkey and shake your fist at the heathens who don't subscribe to the same sort of Wild Wild West karmic fantasy you seem to be so enamored with, go right ahead. Just do it somewhere else.

FELIPE NO

No I didn't. I said they drew attention to themselves and were closed because of it. Unlike CDs, games this year have seen 1-3 leaked releases at maximum, although I'm sure there's someone in a position of authority, something you'll never see, watching over them as well.

Considering it's completely legal to own a backed up copy of a game in my country, I don't mind at all. Downloading and trying the game out, then purchasing the game, means I then have both. Perfectly legal. And 90% of the time, I buy games I download, and I use the downloaded copies so I don't have to open my games or worry about them getting scratched.

Yes, because I claimed that I have moral superiority over people who download illegally.

Wow, this is either one of the most self deluded posts I've ever read, or New Zealand didn't actually sign the Berne Convention.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
