Pirate Bay To Offer VPN For $7 a Month
Death Metal sends along an Ars Technica piece about The Pirate Bay's plans for a virtual private network service to help ensure its users' privacy. "The Pirate Bay is planning to launch a paid VPN service for users looking to cover their tracks when torrenting. The new service will be called IPREDator, named after the Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) that will go into effect in April. IPREDator is currently in private beta and is expected to go public next week for €5 per month. ... IPREDator's website says that it won't store any traffic data, as its entire goal is to help people stay anonymous on the web. Without any data to hand over, copyright owners won't be able to find individuals to target. ... The question remains, however, if any significant portion of The Pirate Bay's users will decide to fork over 5 Euro per month solely to remain anonymous. It seems more likely that the majority either won't care, or will simply start looking for lesser-known torrent trackers to use."
I'm sure there's a torrent somewhere...
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
those wacky europeans do not yet understand how capitalism works.
You're supposed to do it anonymously, noob.
Oh, wait...

I can't believe someone beat the Tsarkon Report guy to the first post!
No, the irony is the Pirate Bay are getting â5 that the music companies could have had.
Dammit, I knew my company was up to something. Always making me use vpn to log into work. I'm reporting them for copyright infringement.
Just because all you did was "drive the getaway car" doesn't mean you're not an accomplice.
About time someone's analogy included a car...
Momentarily, the need for the construction of new light will no longer exist.
you must be new here.
Virtual Pirate Network, ijaaaaaaarrrr
Oh come on, everyone was thinking it.
I don't think he paid the $7 fee to do that ...
I'm sure someone will come out with a license code generator so you can get this free...
I have, and there great!

Hahaha - that made me smile. That would mean all consultants and lawyers are prostitutes.

Best "String" Ever!
3 guys distributing linux distros does not justify tens of millions leeching copyrighted content from the rest of us.
You're right. They should at least seed a bit!
No tyrant thrives when every subject says no.
