The Pirate Bay's Plans To Encrypt the 'Net

Posted by timothy on Thursday July 10, 2008 @10:50PM from the pretty-ned8bdrnki(bdr## dept.

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."

Speaking of unfinished projects by oodaloop · 2008-07-10 23:13 · Score: 0, Offtopic

TFA mentions some unfinished projects. What about the island they wanted to buy and turn into a sovereign nation? How's that one coming along?

That almost the same as ODF and OOXML, right?
