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."

    This has been the main problem with the beta as no one has been able to login to the vpn.

    I don't think anyone thought this thing through.

    I dunno what you're talking about -- there is no "pirate bay", no more "black servers" or "darknets"; now, everyone be quiet!

    Post your damn initials in your signature spot. God almighty it's so pretentious when people put their initials in their posts.

    The downside is, you have to eat a human heart.

    In my neighborhood they even have a wireless version of this VPN. It's called "linksys" for some reason, but it allows anonymous access, and it's even free.
