Pirate ISP: Anon For All
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
The Swedish Pirate Party (Piratpartiet), a political party whose main platforms include copyright and patent reform, have recently taken their efforts one step further and have launched an ISP (internet service provider). Dubbed "Pirate ISP," the service seeks to offer anonymity to its users and to provide financial assistance to Piratpartiet.

The gadget that I am about to write about will make you feel like a secret agent. I am not sure how ethically right having a little device like this would be or why you would need to have one in the first place, but they exist and they do sound pretty cool. What is it?...
