Well in order for Pirate Bay to keep their users more private they have officially launced their own VPN (Virtual Personal Network). Basically what the VPN will do is encrypt a users trafic stream making it imposible to be tracked by their ISP. They claim it will be more secure then private torrent sites. The cost is not free but it will be $7.00 a month. SO far there has been around 180k signed up. Not all are on the service but they hope with in a months time. They sent out invitations to the first 3k that signed up.

As of now I dont have any intentions of paying the $7.00 a month. My question is can they track who is paying the $7. a month? They might not be able to track what your downloading or if your downloading but I would think that they could track who is paying and I dont know if I like that. Something to watch for sure and to think more about.

Pirate Bay Launches VPN Service

The IPREDATOR Global Anonymity Service, at about $7 monthly, is named for Sweden's IPRED law that went into force in April. That law empowers copyright owners to acquire data from ISPs identifying people linked to file sharing.

TorrentFreak notes that the IPREDATOR service, announced in April, likely would be more secure than rank-and-file virtual private networks, which encrypt a user's traffic stream, making it theoretcially invulnerable to interception by a local ISP, or intermediate carriers.

"The weak link in any VPN/anonymity service is always their willingness (or otherwise) to hand over your customer data when pressured under the law. However, with IPREDATOR this should not be an issue since the service is promising to keep no logs of user activity whatsoever,” TorrentFreak said.
