[QUOTE="newusername, post: 3431008, member: 562064"] Like I said on another forum, I am surprised if they are this clueless as to where pre-release leaks come from. Stopping OiNK does nothing; it's like shutting down one McDonalds when there's another down the street. Not only do they need to shut down other torrent sites (I think filemp3 will have a pretty good resurgence with OiNK down), they also need to take action against IRC and usenet. And if they really want to do something, they will target the scene release groups like SAW, FNT, etc. If they had even a clue, that's where they would be focusing and they'd really take control of pre-release leaks. If they had any clue at all, though, they would have figured out that people respond favourably to the types of distribution that bands like Radiohead and NIN are moving towards. Of course, they're still clueless so they will continue to try and charge $20 for CD's with 45 minutes of material and 2 good songs. Mind you, I guess they don't care because the money from the CD's lines the executives pockets rather than the bands pockets. [/QUOTE]
