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."
Because **AA is hard to parse and it's rather difficult to immediately know what it means, I might recommend the term MAFIAA in the future. Sure, it might not stand for anything in specific, but it's easy to parse and everyone knows exactly what it means.

...that a special ISP has to be launched to get the type of protections every ISP should have.
You are either unaware of, or fail to appreciate the traditionally chummy relationship between government and businesses.
The telecom industry in particular has always had a very very close relationship with government with regards to disclosing information.
Even the protections we think we have are undermined through the secret programs like ECHELON and whatever the NSA is calling their current spying regimen.

o0t!
Uh, no and no.
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
