Little is known about their identities beyond a description of their ages, and attempts by TorrentFreak to contact British police have met with little success.

Six OiNK users were arrested early last June as part of “Operation Ark Royal,” for their alleged involvement in uploading music to the popular, deceased OiNK BitTorrent tracker. The raid was a result of cooperation between Cleveland, England police and UK music trade association BPI.

The two suspects’ release coincides with yet another bail extension for OiNK owner Alan Ellis, who was arrested last October as part of the takedown against his site. Police inquiries against Ellis are now allowed to continue until September 10, and the date represents the fourth such extension of its kind.

While the arrested users’ roles with OiNK are currently unknown, statements made last month by a BPI representative indicate that they probably leaked pre-release music to OiNK – a practice that the BPI is taking special pains to eliminate.

Before its closure, music pirates considered OiNK a mecca for music of all types, including unreleased and pre-released music not available anywhere else. Further, the site kept comparatively high standards of quality for the music it offered. Much of the OiNK community has since scattered to a handful of spinoff BitTorrent trackers, and popular opinion contends that none of the spinoffs are at a point where they can reclaim OiNK’s crown.

It remains to be seen what will happen to the OiNK suspects in light of a recent legal shift amongst the UK government and ISPs, in which music pirates will receive warning letters and ISP sanctions if they are caught.
