Pirate Bay Launches Uncensored Image Hosting

Posted by Zonk on from the can't-imagine-what-will-get-uploaded dept.

Spamicles writes "The guys over at the Pirate Bay have launched a new, censorship-free image hosting website called BayImg. Users of the new service don't have to sign-up in order to upload images. However, they can assign a 'removal code' to uploaded images, in case they want to delete the files after a while, and tags to categorize images. BayImg currently supports 100+ file formats, and supports uploading Zip and Rar archives. The maximum file size of uploads is 100MB. The article also discusses TPB's plans for launching a video streaming service that will potentially compete with YouTube."

    I can't see this thing both:
    1) Holding true to the principles of no censorship whatsoever.
    2) Not being immediately shut down when some troll posts necro-pedo-beastility images as part of some SA vs. Fark vs. 4chan contest to find the most simultaneously illegal and offense image to post.

    If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").

    From the bayimg site:

    Max file upload size is 100MB. If you're crazy and upload that much, then you should consider getting friends.

    Hmmm, perhaps they know more about their target demographics that it might seem at first...

    Yeah I had a semi-grudging respect for what they were trying to do...One thing I do not get about this whole thing is their version of making it free is take someones hard work, and let anyone who wants it get it without collecting any monetary reward for the person who did the work.

    I don't understand your confusion -- catering to a bunch of greedy, selfish leeches *is* what they're trying to do.
