Pirate Party Launches Commercial Darknet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nothing-to-see-here dept.

CrystalFalcon writes "The Swedish Pirate Party has launched a commercial, high-capacity darknet, on an unprecedented scale and bandwidth. This service lets anybody send and receive files anonymously without being tracked or traced. 'There are many legitimate reasons to want to be completely anonymous on the Internet,' says Rickard Falkvinge, chairman of the Pirate Party. 'If the government can check everything each citizen does, nobody can keep the government in check.'"

    I have to ask... "Why?"

    There are numerous companies already providing anonymizing services, very similar to this. What's special about this one, other than it's affiliation with the Pirate Party?
