Martian and Secret hit it on the head. I get tired of people talking out of their ass about this issue. There are plenty of people that abuse places like oink, but if you think there aren't countless more in the music industry abusing power for their own gain you don't have your head on straight. look at the dealings with internet radio or DRM or any number of moves by the "music industry." I'd gladly pay premium if the quality of selection at oink was preserved in some future iteration, but i sincerely doubt that's possible. Without oink I would have never gotten into so much music that I listen to every day.
RIP oink. You'll probably never be the same again.
Go to shows. End rant.
