Swedish Pirate Party Launches ISP

Posted by kdawson on from the nothing-to-declare dept.

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."

    That's going to be fun for the admins when the server falls over and they need to figure out why. /var/log is there for a reason.

      It shouldn't be hard to figure out why your server fell over.
      I mean with the shuriken on the side and the "YAKUZA WUZ HERE" spray painted on it should be a trivial matter to locate and keelhaul those responsible.

    It's better to let a guilty man go free than convict an innocent.

    You're obviously not a lawyer...
