Or maybe identical cups with different prices. Why? Because too many people are shit scared to be associated with OiNK in any direct way right now. Paying directly via PayPal seems very incriminating (for who can trust the PP bastards anyway), whereas buying merchandise at CafePress, overpirced or not, is a perfectly innocent thing to do.<BR/><BR/>Besides, I would really like such a cup.<BR/><BR/>(Sad face: My music is broken ... it only says "moo!" these days ...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-62763172549200823042007-11-18T13:23:00.000+00:002007-11-18T13:23:00.000+00:00For some reason, some scam sites now frame redirec...For some reason, some scam sites now frame redirect to saveoink.com. w00t?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-84442132852951768072007-11-15T09:30:00.000+00:002007-11-15T09:30:00.000+00:00I made the following post on a forum of a new torr...I made the following post on a forum of a new torrent website, whilst discussing the save oink fund. I was amazed that a minority of people on there have a fuck you attitude instead of gratitude for all the hard work from OiNK. Anyway I'm posting it here as its my reasons for supporting OiNK, here goes...<BR/><BR/>I donated because:<BR/><BR/>I used Oink's pink palace, I loved Oink's pink palace, I miss Oink's pink palace, and... the way that file sharing and music distribution is going, is about standing up for what you believe in. I believe this means sharing responsibility as well as just the files. One man took the risk, and we all took advantage, do we all stand by and watch him get get put away or fined 6 figure sum? Or do we show support and and help this man out - and simultaneously show the mother fuckers that their scare tactics won't work and that file sharing is here to stay, and the music distribution model has changed since the eighties...<BR/><BR/>Oink's pink palace was awesome, and I am glad sites like this have come up and are following in Oink's footsteps with true hydra fashion. Without OiNK would this site exist? Would it be as good as it it?<BR/><BR/>Comparing supporting oink to being Reebok and paying Nike, is bullshit, we are in this together, we are the file sharing community.<BR/><BR/>Yes - he hasn't been charged with anything yet. But Oink is going through a world of shit right now and its putting his family through some strain, he's now jobless as a result and will be back and questioned and more than likely probably charged with something - and will need good legal support if he stands any chance of winning. Also this will be a landmark case, especially in the UK, and the outcome will have major repercussions for file sharing in the future. Its about saying thanks and we support you!<BR/><BR/>Those are my reasons for donating, you make your own decisions.<BR/><BR/>~ J (fellow non-cheating douchebag)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-27434433983994165722007-11-15T00:43:00.000+00:002007-11-15T00:43:00.000+00:00Paypal is back up at last, and for keeps this time...Paypal is back up at last, and for keeps this time!<BR/><BR/>beasty (non-cheating douchebag)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-74118647671290024552007-11-13T06:21:00.000+00:002007-11-13T06:21:00.000+00:00Well, well, well...talk about karma.If anyone else...Well, well, well...talk about karma.<BR/>If anyone else had been on the old irc channel trying to discuss re-instating their banned account with an oink mod, they'll know what I'm talking about.<BR/><BR/>Generally it went like this:<BR/><BR/>(oink user): I'd like to discuss my account?<BR/><BR/>(mod): no help for cheaters! .kb oink user<BR/><BR/>Guess what, turn about is fair play.<BR/><BR/>No help for douchebags!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-62594832621149245102007-11-12T16:48:00.000+00:002007-11-12T16:48:00.000+00:00Screw OiNK.Screw OiNK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-26485534343959174652007-11-12T10:19:00.000+00:002007-11-12T10:19:00.000+00:00"This recipient is currently unable to receive mon..."This recipient is currently unable <BR/>to receive money" this is the message i get when i am trying to access the link from the saveoink page.<BR/><BR/>Are there any country restrictions ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-83692331682760142882007-11-12T08:53:00.000+00:002007-11-12T08:53:00.000+00:00I donated before paypal broke.

What difference does it make if or when Alan is charged or incurs legal expenses. Trust funds and accountings are absurd. <BR/><BR/>No matter what, Alan's in a world of hurt. I don't need to rehash what's been covered, but I'm a trial lawyer and I couldn't afford to hire myself. You can go broke suing your neighbor (and people do). <BR/><BR/>Alan's out of work, his situation alarms would-be employers and right now there's no silver lining. <BR/><BR/>Everyone running for cover except to stop here all the time to bitch and spew nonsense is absolutely inexplicable. There isn't a person reading this blog who hasn't enjoyed the benefits of Alan's hard work and sacrifice and it was and is, his neck on the line, not yours. <BR/><BR/>Like me, you ought to be donating, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I sincerely WISH that Alan HAD the luxury of blowing every chickenshit penny I'm giving on drugs, alcohol or whores or whatever he damn well wishes. But he doesn't have that luxury. <BR/><BR/>Every $20 you're talking about NOT donating is $20 you didn't pay for a CD. If you don't want to donate or show your support, don't. This isn't the place for you. <BR/><BR/>There ought to be at least one place, (and that should be RIGHT HERE on this comment page), RESERVED for positive support and well wishes for Alan, totally and completely berift of the immature ramblings of lunatics looking only for another curbside to post his/her immmediate stream-of-mind dribble. <BR/><BR/>Somewhere there should be reserved, and this comment page ought to be at least one of those places, for Alan's friends and supporters and those who wish him well to to show his/her support with positive, supportive messages and thanks; not for bloodsuckers who have nothing better to do but to squeeze his/her own nickel and every one else's so hard that the whole buffalo herd is screaming. <BR/><BR/>If you don't want to donate, then don't. That's your business; don't make it ours. Go to the PETA blog and tell them everything you don't like in the world, and why you're not donating to them either. But whatever your reasons, we don't care. You're not going to get any support here. <BR/><BR/>If you are unwilling or unable to donate, the least you could do is say, "Thanks Alan; my thoughts and prayers are with you and you have my support." If you can't do this, you don't belong here. Go to K-Mart and shoplift or go beat up another old lady and steal her purse, but you don't belong here. <BR/><BR/>THANKS ALAN; MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT, BOTH IN SPIRIT AND IN CASH AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I HOPE IT GOES TOWARDS A MERCEDES RATHER THAN A BLOODSUCKING LAWYER LIKE ME. AT LEAST 180,000, PLUS ALL OF THE 180,000'S FRIENDS, BENEFITTED FROM YOUR HARD WORK AND EFFORTS, RISK FREE. YOU CREATED A SPECIAL AND UNIQUE COMMUNITY WHICH LEGACY THE FUTURE WILL SEE IN VARIOUS FORMS. ON BEHALF OF THE MORONS WHO ARE CLUTTERING UP THE GOOD EFFORTS OF MANY CONCERNED PERSONS, I HOPE WHEN YOU READ THESE COMMENTS YOU'LL JUST SKIP PAST THE 12 YEAR OLDS AND JUST CHALK IT UP TO IMMATURE STUPIDITY BUT I HOPE YOU WILL AT LEAST FIND SOME SOLACE BY THE POSITIVE COMMENTS OF THOSE WHO SINCERELY CARE FOR YOUR WELFARE. THERE ARE MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO CARE AND ARE CONCERNED FOR YOUR WELFARE AND WANT TO HELP YOU AND WOULD AND WILL DO SO PERSONALLY. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DESERVE HELP AND GRATITUDE AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE WONDERING WHERE YOUR NEXT MEAL IS COMING FROM. I WISH YOU GODSPEED.Yibbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215110969196112055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-44378499973930572972007-11-12T01:45:00.000+00:002007-11-12T01:45:00.000+00:00could we see how much you get???could we see how much you get???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-22711868518842064702007-11-12T01:43:00.000+00:002007-11-12T01:43:00.000+00:00Paine, Just letting you know someone on digg is pr...Paine, Just letting you know someone on digg is pretending to be you. asking people to buy from the opplove store, saying all profits go to alan.<BR/><BR/>http://www.digg.com/tech_news/OiNK_Launches_Legal_Defense_Fund?t=10500848#c10500848<BR/><BR/>If the link gets cropped just search digg users for "thepaine"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-46042576342114420032007-11-12T00:39:00.000+00:002007-11-12T00:39:00.000+00:00I'm donating right now.

Should he, however, require our financial support during this time we should give it. Being sacked and facing the risks of legal action along with the carnivorous gaze of the press is quite enough for me to help buy his groceries if that's what he wants to do with the money. As for leftovers going to an animal charity, fine. The point, as usual, is that he is not trying to become wealthy from our donations.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672682183128998922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-82964730643520854502007-11-11T23:43:00.000+00:002007-11-11T23:43:00.000+00:00i'm not about to affiliated with this anymore.

For now we're just waiting to see what will happen and I think the fund could have held off for a wee while.<BR/><BR/>Still, not putting me off in the slightest and the people making comments about others running off with the money in the past need to have a little faith in the difference of situation here!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390859115841060417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026147389099332216.post-68363747874996847592007-11-11T19:45:00.000+00:002007-11-11T19:45:00.000+00:00Good linkie here for Alan's lawyer ... :-)The Impa...Good linkie here for Alan's lawyer ... :-)<BR/><BR/>The Impact of Music Downloads and P2P File-Sharing on the Purchase of Music: A Study for Industry Canada<BR/><BR/>http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/ippd-dppi.nsf/en/h_ip01456e.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
