"The Pirate Bay likes to be as open as possible in its pledge to stick it to copyright owners and their greedy greediness. But sometimes they\u2019re forced to fight authority in all its various dimensions with an eye on safety. As a result of the Swedish government\u2019s passage of a law last week implementing a surveillance wiretap of all incoming and outgoing transmissions to monitor for national security threats, The Pirate Bay will soon do things SSL style.\nThe cloak will be installed sometime this week, according to TPB administrator Brokep. In addition to the SSL measure, they will also \u201Chelp out making a website about easy encryption - both for your hard drives and your Net traffic.\u201D\nOne more thing: TPB will evidently be \u201Casking...international ISPs to block traffic to Sweden. Yes, that\u2019s right! We want Sweden to be banned from the Internet.\u201D Brokep\u2019s explanation for such a request? \u201CThe ISPs need to block Sweden in order to protect their own customers integrity since everything they do on Swedish ISPs\u2019 networks will be logged and searched.\u201D\nSweden's The Local has a well-detailed analysis of the Swedish FRA's \"snoop law.\" Of course, given TPB's conflicts with an array of police forces, it's clear why the website raises concern following the passage of said legislation. An SSL-infused TPB launch is thus a virtual certainty. Lobbying international ISPs to go around Sweden rather than through its networks, however? That's less likely."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
