Good. Now I can make fun of the Thai King.

Seriously though. Pirate bay needs to get some lobbiests, because they need to make it clear to Swedish MPs that the current Swedish law is to the advantage of Sweden, no matter what the US threatens.

The Pirate Bay to launch YouTube-style video streaming site

Ends all the speculation and formally announces the “latest and greatest” project from the world’s most famous BitTorrent tracker site.

Previously I speculated that the “it’s coming” project was the Playble music subscription site that would offer users the option of paying whatever monthly subscription fee that they could afford with fees going directly yo the artists themselves.

Well, Brokep ends all the speculation this morning and announces that they’re going to create a new “video streaming site.” much like YouTube but without the censorship.

He writes:

Oh, and the surprise that’s coming… it’s still not what people think it is… it’s been speculations on it being Playble.com or the video somewhat secret video site.

But, as a treat I can tell you – YES – we’re going to do a video streaming site. It’s true. It’s in the works being done right now and as usual we put a bit of Pirate Bay mentality behind every project we do.

In a chat I had with Brokep this morning on good ol’ fashioned iRC, he was kind enough to answer a few questions about the site and what it will all be about.

He confirmed where the site will be — http://thevideobay.org/, and furthered that they had performed a test stream on Eurovision a while back, and that it held up with “no problem whatsoever.”

….

The site plays content police, and with this new project from The Pirate Bay, users will now take up that role and make for some much needed freedom, especially in light of YouTube kowtowing to countries like Thailand who objected to videos mocking their King which were subsequently removed.
