Alan Ellis, former administer of the popular OiNK torrent tracker, was due to report to the authorities today for his bail date. However, his date has been extended to May 6, granting Ellis more time to mount a defense.
This is not the first time the date has been extended; on December 7, authorities extended it from December 21 to February 4.
This significantly longer extension could indicate that British and Dutch authorities have realized that the OiNK picture is more nuanced than they had been led to believe by the IFPI and BPI, the anti-piracy organizations who instigated the raid.
(Due to a head cold-related clerical error, Ellis's name originally appeared here as "Anton Ellis.")
