Pirates & Predators
Jun 17th
An incredible number of amazing stuff comes from Sweden… magazines, models, sex idols, pedo vampires & zombies, queer kids and The Pirate Bay of course. And the guys behind the latter are working on another gift to the world: IPREDator. Its naming is a none-too-subtle jab at Sweden’s recently-launched IPRED or Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive, which allows copyright holders to identify individual file sharers. Therefore IPREDator counters this action by disguising your identity, just like any other virtual private network, although the key difference is that it doesn’t keep any records of your activity. No records means there’s nothing for law firms to go after, which is why it’s appealing to those living outside of Sweden’s new laws.

Not only file sharers will love this but also people who are getting nervous about new repressive laws regarding pictures of teenage boys. The service is currently in closed beta testing and the Pirates were kind enough to give me a beta key so I can tell you a bit more about it. The sign up is pretty easy: You register an account, pay 149 Swedish Krona (about $ 19) for 3 months of anonymous surfing and you’re ready to go. Setting up the connection to their network is dead simple (they have instructions on their site). Once you’re connected through their service you will have a Swedish IP and can do whatever you want – everyone who tries to find out who you are will just see this IP which you share with thousands of other users and since no connection data are saved at the IPREDator servers no one can tell which user did what. The speed is surprisingly good: I surf with about 4 Mbit here in Germany and even if I’m used to 32 Mbit with my normal connection that’s still a damn good speed to load some torrents or surf the web. It will be interesting to see if the speed stays at this level once the service opens up to everyone which should happen by the end of this month. |

Destroyer 09!
Jun 8th
Destroyer 09 is out and on its way to the first lucky costumers. Here’s what Karl has to say about his newest baby:
I’m immensily proud to announce Destroyer 09. Why? Because of Nicola, a Swedish amateur photographer who took loads and loads of photos of beautiful boys in Naples in the 1970s. Some of them were published in the gay magazines of the time, but most of them were simply buried in Nicola’s drawers. Until now. In a 22-page double feature, we publish the best of Nicola’s photos in colour and black and white, along with an interview with Nicola himself, where he talks about the uniqueness of Naples and how it all suddenly changed to the worse in the 80s. I cannot enough emphasize the following: You do not want to miss this! D9 is the hottest issue of Destroyer since D2, which featured the 10-page interview with Cosidetto and was sold out only weeks after the release. D2 was printed in 1000 copies, D9 will be printed in 2000 copies. However, be warned that they might go very fast.
As usual, you can purchase Destroyer at Ilovemags.com!
