According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, Oink was the largest source of leaked albums in the world, claiming that it was responsible for leaking more than 60 major album releases in 2007 alone.[2] However, Oink is usually not the source of such leaks, as most leaks stem from the private FTP servers of the scene, which then trickle down to other forms of distribution. Due to Oink’s popularity, releases were often posted there hours before other private and public torrent sites.
