British and Dutch police have shut down a "widely-used" source 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).

A 24-year-old man from Middlesbrough was arrested on Tuesday morning.

hmmm, the article has been edited since I posted about it on another forum this morning - the BBC quoted something along the lines of "users would then play the torrent files on their media players" - I was wondering what a .torrent file sounded like....

I thought that when I first heard the news, then I realised that I had seen it once, and as it was members-only I never bothered going on there again
