Sealand For Sale, To Be Purchased By Interweb Pirate Clan???
from The Local (Sweden)
As first reported in this space back in July 2006, the Principality of Sealand suffered a devastating fire, putting the future of this proclaimed country at risk. It appears that Sealand may even be up for sale. Enter The Pirate Bay, a Swedish bit torrent site that is interested in buying Sealand so they can continue their business unmolested by the MPAA and other governments. They have even set up a site, http://buysealand.com to encourage like-minded folks to donate money to their cause.
If buying Sealand does not work, they have a Plan B:
"Plan B: If we do not get enough money required to buy the micronation of Sealand, we will try to buy another small island somwhere and claim it as our own country (prices start from USD 50 000)."
Nauru, are you listening?
