    Tired of copyright laws? Then make your own country!

    ... just like world #1 torrent site The Pirate Bay is going to.

    While their first plan was to buy country built on oil derrick called Sealand, their newest plan is to buy "Ile de Caille" island, which is for sale for $18,000,000 USD.

    A little sideline on the "Principality of Sealand". Wikipedia says a man called Paddy Roy Bates went on a naval fort called "Roughs Tower" that had been abandoned for quite a while and declared his own country there. A group of German and Dutch citizens actually tried to overtake the fort, but Bates retook the fort with a helicopter assault. One citizen was actually tried for treason because he had a Sealand passport. The German and Dutch citizens who invaded still think they are the rightful owners of Sealand, and have started a "government in exile" in Germany.

    Now, Property in Sealand is being sold for US$998 Million.

    But, back on topic: the Pirate Bay island would need a military to defend itself from the RIAA and the MPAA. Are you willing to fight for the pirated BitTorrent movies you love?

    Actually, read : http://www.havenco.com/index.html ... If they can afford to buy Sealand, or even start up their business on Sealand, they have a great connection.
