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."

    But since you can't just browse the images, the only people who would see the child porn are child porn enthusiasts, and the feds who investigate them. So it's unlikely that you'd hear about it, unless you were into that stuff. In which case, ew, you perv...

    From the damned front page of the site:

    bayimg.com is a place where you can host all your images. We do not censor them. We believe in freedom of speech, it's of utter importance to us. As long as your pictures are legal they will be hosted here, but we reserve the right to remove images due to technical reasons though.
    Did I miss the memo where child porn became legal in Sweden?

    I would rather be able to see the filth of society clearly

    Take a nice, hard look. (You'll want the "Random" board. Totally NSFW.)

    As far as I can tell, 7chan seems to be made up of people who got banned from 4chan, which in itself is remarkable, since 4chan's moderation is...minimal...at best.

    Grandparent: In England 17 is legal.

    Parent: actually its 16

    It depends what you're talking about; the age of consent in England *is* 16, but I believe that to appear in adult material you have to be at least 18. (I remember hearing that apparently Samantha Fox - a 1980s "page 3" star- was 16 when she did her first shoots, and they commented that this would not be legal nowadays. Note that page three is topless, and no more).
