Pirate Party launches anonymous file-sharing service

The Swedish Pirate Party has launched a "completely anonymous" file-sharing system intended to allow users to share files without being subject to prying eyes, whether entertainment industry enforcers, snoopy coppers, or nosy employers.

"There are many legitimate reasons to want to be completely anonymous on the Internet," says Rickard Falkvinge, chairman of the Pirate Party. "If the government can check everything each citizen does, nobody can keep the government in check. The right to exchange information in private is fundamental to the democratic society. Without a safe and convenient way of accessing the Internet anonymously, this right is rendered null and void."
