British and Dutch police have shut down one of the world’s biggest sources of illegally downloaded music. A flat on Teesside and several properties in Amsterdam were raided as part of an Interpol investigation into the members-only website OiNK.
The UK-run site has leaked 60 major pre-release albums this year alone, said the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

The Oink dude better be careful on the inside. He’s willing to be shanked by some Uzbekistani musician who was imprisoned for stealing bread to feed his family cause his album leaked early.
