Ecrypt the whole Net!

Now this is a big bite - the folks behind Pirate Bay are developing technology that will allow all traffic between equipped end-points to be encrypted. They are doing this to protect folks from the prying eyes of the authorities - new laws have been passed in Sweden that give the authorities rights to monitor email, web traffic and telephony of individuals. The EFF has a good post about this new law here.

Not sure how all this will be implemented, but will be interesting to follow...
