The Pirate Bay launches Baywords blogging service

Famous torrent search service The Pirate Bay has announced the launch of their latest service aimed to provide freedom to web users to post anything they want to.

The service said that Baywords would enable bloggers around the world to write whatever they want, without being afraid to get shut down by their blog host.

One of the people behind The Pirate Bay said that they decided to launch this venture after one of their friend’s blog was taken down by a popular blogging service for linking to copyrighted material.

They are using WordPress as the blogging engine for this new service.

Matt Mullenweg from WordPress talked about this new service: “WordPress.com supports free speech and doesn’t shut people down for “uncomfortable thoughts and ideas”, in fact we’re blocked in several countries because of that. However as a US-based company we must comply with US laws, which means if the primary purpose of a blog is distributing illegal material it’s not a good fit for WordPress.com.”

The Pirate Bay is also working on a YouTube challenger for users whose videos were removed by the service.
