VPN For Kazaa Users Launched

Posted by simoniker on from the hiding-behind-screen dept.

prostoalex writes "AnonX allows Kazaa users to connect to its own VPN, effectively obfuscating their original IP address that certain association has been using to subpoena the file-sharers. The company is created by a Texas ISP employee, but is registered in Vanuatu, and already has 7,000 users paying $6 a month."

    Let me get this right. A guy physically residing in the States is earning money from a service whose primary and almost sole intent is to facilitate the commission of a crime

    No, you don't have it right. The intent of this service is to protect privacy.

    Yes, the service could be used to anonymously perform illegal activities; it could also be used to anonymously send important information to law enforcement.
