Ratios are essential to filesharing. You said already that you werent on OiNK so you perhaps dont understand how important ratios were in making it superior to shit like TBP or soulseek.
Its about incentives. Without ratios there is far less incentive to contribute your own material or seed other people's and youd just end up with a system like TPB where everyone caps their upload and stops seeding as soon as their 2KB/s downloads finish. Also a decentralised system allows no way to enforce quality standards and remove torrents that are low-bitrate/transcoded/untagged/etc.

Linking to the material then? "He ran the site, the site had links to lots of material, he has access to and has thereby accumulated lots of stolen material?" as a possible police conclusion.
