The folks behind The Pirate Bay really enjoy sticking it to the man. So much so, evidently, that they want to get you, you, and you in on the action. Enter, BayWords.

Conjured by a team of engineers who flaunt philosophical eyepatches when trawling the Web for links and things (to the virtual total annoyance of copyright holders and a whole panoply of frustrated and exhausted law enforcement services), BayWords, first mentioned today by Ernesto at TorrentFreak, is a new blogging service that promises to ensure that any registrees will evade censorship, no matter the content they publish. So, if you have a really fresh mouth (among other qualities), and don’t particularly want your feed disrupted by takedowns on WordPress or Blogger or some other host, [img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/baywords-r.gif" caption="" credit="" alt="baywords"]BayWords is the place to go. Just don’t go looking to break Swedish laws. BayWords won’t save you from those, says Pirate Bay co-founder Brokep.

For the moment, BayWords is a simple construction. “Minimalistic,” according to the site copy. But more is to be added. More features, themes, a CAPTCHA system. And, yes, advertisements. They will be “blended into the blog design later, to cover expenses.”
