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 I don't really see what makes their services different from any other domain anonymizer.

I suppose they could be fighting a bit harder to keep your details from legal pressure, but I mean.. Getting a domain registered not in your own name isn't exactly rocket science as-is.

@pettter What makes them different is that they're another set of people. Choosing trust etc.

@mmn Sure, that's a valid measure, but lets just say that after heml.is I'm not too sure I trust that particular set of people to do anything useful or even keep their promises in regards to open sourcing etc.

@pettter it's not the same set of people. brokep yes, but not the others if I'm not miss-informed. Linus and Leif is still working full time on flattr.
