Well known and often controversial BitTorrent tracking site The Pirate Bay has launched BayImg, an uncensored free image hosting service.

You can upload about 140 different formats. There’s even support for .RAR and .ZIP-archives! If you upload an archive with multiple images, you’ll also get an album-address for all the pictures inside of it. Tags are separated by spaces, removal code is a password to let you remove images you upload.

Max file upload size is 100MB.

bayimg.com is a place where you can host all your images. We do not censor them. We believe in freedom of speech, it’s of utter importance to us. As long as your pictures are legal they will be hosted here, but we reserve the right to remove images due to technical reasons though. If something crashes here, you better have a backup yourself – hopefully that won’t happen. Usually we know what we’re doing.

According to their website, DMCA requests to BayImg will have no standing. I guess that much like their torrent files, they have a bit of free reign over the industry. It will be interesting to see how well this works when entire scans of the latest playboy issues start showing up!
