The Pirate Bay founder has launched a new service to register domain names anonymously: https://njal.la/. You can sign up using XMPP+OTR and pay in BTC. The company buys the domain and then gives you the usage rights.

Seems useful mainly for people worried about content takedowns.

Thoughts?

@bcrypt Interesting, but seems one lawsuit away from shutting down lots of anonymous domains.

Well at least they will fight that lawsuit (and do all it takes to evade it in the first place) when many people are deterred just by the threat of a lawsuit...

I guess in the end it is about trusting them to stay strong...

@jz @bcrypt It's hard to stay strong when the state knocks on your door and shuts down your systems.

@lambadalambda @bcrypt Depends on which State are your servers in, what architecture enables a redundancy where some could disappear from a State, reappear in another, etc. TPB people have one of the most extensive experience with this kind of epic shit I say...

@jz @bcrypt yeah, but they don't control dns. the root name servers don't care about the great opsec of tbp.

@lambadalambda @bcrypt Still they're more experienced than most of us in juggling with the technical and judicial struggle to stay online against all censorship... I am not saying it is perfect, (to be fair I didnt even check the link or the company).. I am just bringing that to the level of trust, and the trust in these ppl in particular... <3

@jz @bcrypt Hey, it's better than anything else, probably.
