Swedish Pirate Party Launches ISP
WillDraven writes "Torrentfreak is reporting that the Swedish Pirate Party has launched an ISP. Starting with 100 residents in a housing organization in the city of Lund, Pirate ISP hopes to gain 5% of the market in Lund before spreading to other markets. Headed by longtime Pirate Party member Gustav Nipe (video interview in English), the company aims to provide Internet service with the sort of guarantees one would expect from the Pirate Party. Most notable are the promises to keep no logs of subscriber activity and thus to provide no data to law enforcement or private corporations."
any traffic coming from IP ranges known to belong to the RIAA, MPAA, or constituent organizations.
IMHO, that would be doing exactly what their enemies are doing. Their purpose is to let users access the internet without restrictions. Not to wall-off those things they find evil.
So, you're against law enforcement then? after all -the lawman who can stop a rape in progress could also stop a peaceful protest?
Isn't that right?
Not at all you sniveling coward-shit. It would be like recording where everyone goes at all times then checking the tapes later.
You must think we're extremely naive. Everyone knows that "privacy" is merely a veneer that the pirate party uses to appear legitimate while their true motives are unrestricted piracy. They aren't even the least bit timid about admitting they're pro-piracy, so I don't know why people try to play these mind games to convince us that their motives are pure.
But that's the point. It all depends on the combination of morals and laws of a specific place/group of people. The laws of God and the laws of Man aren't always in agreement. Sometimes things are moral but illegal, and sometimes things are immoral but legal. Depends on who you ask.
