Pigs Might Fly

Steinski alerts us to the passing of OiNK, closed file sharing site and quotes from an excellent post by Rob Sheridan:The Death Of OiNK

"...OiNK was not only an absolute paradise for music fans, but it was unquestionably the most complete and most efficient music distribution model the world has ever known ... If the music industry had found a way to capitalize on the power, devotion, and innovation of its own fans the way Oink did, it would be thriving right now instead of withering ... the music industry could never set aside their own greed and corporate bullshit to make it happen."
