New York-based post-punk band, Interpol, today smashed an international music pirate ring Oink after a daring dawn raid.
Armed with little more than lateral haircuts and angular indie tunes, the band - pictured above outside Oink's offices before the raid - stopped the members-only music file sharing site from trading.
Similar raids on other music file sharing sites are expected from Interpol contemporaries.
The P.A.P - Post-punk Artists against Piracy - sydnicate, which includes bands like the Strokes, Bravery, Muse and Franz Ferdinand will be shutting down file sharing sites worldwide this week.
Named after the sound a pig makes, Oink is now closed pending an investigation by P.A.P.
