The Pirate Bay's Plans To Encrypt the 'Net

Keeper Of Keys writes "According to newteevee.com, The Pirate Bay, those fun- and freedom-loving Swedes, have embarked on a project to encrypt all internet traffic, probably by means of an OS-level wrapper around all network connections, which would fall back to an unencrypted connection when the other end is not similarly equipped. The move has been prompted by a recent change in Swedish law, allowing the authorities to snoop on network traffic. This will be a boon to filesharers and anyone else concerned about authorities and trade groups' recent moves towards 'policing' network traffic at the ISP level."

    just goes to show how ignorant the average piratebay fans are then.

    I bet the guys collecting the money were in stitches.

    Wow... you missed his point so hard that your lack of comprehension created a singularity in the space-time continuum that now threatens to cause the universe to fold in upon itself...
