Sweden's Pirate Party wants to continue defending people's "right to act politically," and has decided take its ideals a step further than just hosting The Pirate Bay on its own servers. The political Piratpartiet has big plans to launch its own ISP that delivers service in line with the party's ideals. It won't be like your standard ISP, though: the Pirate ISP founders say that users will be responsible for fixing and maintaining their service, and that privacy will be one of its highest priorities.

"If you see something and you think it’s broken you build a patch and fix it. With that as a reference point we are launching an ISP. This is one way to tackle the Big Brother society," Pirate ISP CEO and Pirate Party member Gustav Nipe told TorrentFreak in an interview. "The Pirate ISP is needed in different ways. One is to compete with other ISPs, let them fight more for our Internet. If they don’t behave there will always be someone else taking their share."
