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."
Yes, because the ** Association of America will send DMCA (an American law) notices to a Swedish ISP. You know what the Pirate Bay does with those letters now? They post them up on a page and laugh at them.
You left out the "on the mail servers" part of his post. Meaning that the filtering is done for incoming email to the ISP itself, not traffic in general.
That Anonymous Coward guy is pretty annoying. Can we have the government censor him or something?
Swedish ISP's as a rule don't have limits and tend to cost something along the line of $10 to $40 depending on bandwidth and extra services.
Except that with no logs, it's impossible to match an IP to a MAC
(and yes, I know MACs can be spoofed)

The Pirate Party of Canada is eligible for Official status (they've filled out all the paperwork and have been approved by Elections Canada). They just internally elected their first candidates last night, in fact. http://www.pirateparty.ca/
