The Pirate Bay launches Ipredator – an encrypted private network

The Pirate Bay, the most popular torrent indexing website in the world, has managed to come up with an encrypted VP called IPREDator. Currently in beta testing by 3,000 users, and 18,000 more in the waiting list, it is scheduled to launch next month for everyone. It wont be a free service and will be priced at €5 per month. The beta invites are closed at the moment.

The Ipredator website currently says:

IPREDator is a network service that makes people online more anonymous using a VPN.
it costs about 5 EUR per month and we store no traffic data.
the network is under our control. not theirs.
the pirate bay likes and knows real kopimism. and waffles.

Ipredator IPREDator will be secure and will actually be a helpful tool for those using The Pirate Bay for piracy as it’ll make sure that your activities leave no trace for any agency to capture against you. I reckon this service is going to cause further uproar from the RIAA as well as create more controversy for the Pirate Bay, which most of the time happens to benefit them as some sort of Robin Hoods of the current era.

There could be better uses for Ipredator such as for business purposes or vulnerable transportation of documents although the objective for its development seems pretty much obvious.
