Nah, they won't. The main benefit of Oink over just any old internet music community was twofold: 1. it had things in high quality (like iTunes doesn't) 2. it had obscure things you can't get any more (like iTunes doesn't).
The generally mass-market stuff that is most easily found on iTunes is the stuff that can be most easily pirated, so all it does is punish the people who want things that can't be found elsewhere.

Now THAT was great, in a trippy kind of way.
It got cut from TTD, which we stopped writing years ago because it was getting far too complicated.
