Pirate Bay's Anonymity Service Enters Beta Testing

Posted by samzenpus on from the counting-grains-of-sand dept.

schliz writes "Developers of The Pirate Bay have launched their new Virtual Private Network (VPN) service to some 180,000 pre-registered beta testers. An e-mail to beta testers read. 'IPREDator does not store any personal details about its clients. IPREDator does not store any traffic habits you might have. IPREDator is the key to a free internet in the renaissance of censorship!' The new service was launched to protect file sharers in response to the Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) that went into effect in April."

  1. Re:if you outlaw PREDators by Vectronic · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Or, only pedophiles will use iPredator, seriously what fuckin genius thought this name up? Pretty much any way you look at it, is has a sort of negative connotation, Predator? Are you here to destroy websites? Fantasizing about being a Raptor, bursting through the gateways to consume some IP Ranges, RaWr...

    Or were they going after iPod, like somehow the name is what people actually like... "what rhymes with iPod... iPred?, wait it can't be *that* obvious, IP-Red, no wait, IPRED...ATOR... fuck yeah!, I R Predatorz.."

    Oh fuckit, just mod me down...
