Sweden's Pirate Party launches i - Ed hardy underw

It’s the first known ISP in the world launched with the intent of *not* protecting the rights of copyright holders, guaranteeing anonymity to its customers and providing financial support to the party along the way. According to the founders, the ISP will refuse all requests to monitor the service and will not maintain any logs (which could be subpoenaed). Customers are also promised that the ISP has all sorts of “tricks” to ensure that no agency,Ed hardy underwear, not even Sweden’s own Anti-Piracy Bureau, will be able to suss out who’s doing what on the service,Versace, or even who its customers are.

The party already provides bandwidth to the infamous Pirate Bay peer-to-peer file-sharing service — and does so under the immunity provided by the Swedish Parliament. Now it is letting everyday users onto its pipes, all with the goal of eradicating what it calls “the big brother society.”

The ISP is already up and running, at least in beta form, now having about 100 residents in a single low-cost housing project in the city of Lund using an early version of the service. Assuming the launch continues smoothly, the goal is next to expand to cover Lund (and grab a 5 percent market share), then expand throughout Sweden — possibly by the end of the summer.

It’s hard to imagine such a service running anywhere but Scandinavia, where the contemporary online-outlaw mentality was born and where all attempts to crush file-sharing services like the aforementioned Pirate Bay have been for naught. Can the Pirate Party actually make a business out of defying the long arm of the law? Let’s just say I wouldn’t bet against it.

Enjoy delving into the seedier side of the Net but don’t want the nasty legal consequences? You’re in luck. Sweden’s Pirate Party — a real political party that aims to “reform” copyright and patent law and gained 0.63% of the vote in the country’s 2006 election — is starting its own ISP.
