In the news:
ACFI is a group of people working for the peoples right to it’s Internets. We have made progress in Ladonia and are now working on the Micronation of Sealand. Recently it was made clear that this country is for sale. To make sure the owners will be kopimistic and that the country won’t be governed by people that do not care about it’s future, we have come up with a plan. With the help of all the kopimists on Internets, we want to buy Sealand. Donate money and you will become a citizien. We’ve set up a forum to discuss how the country is supposed to function. — It should be a great place for everybody. With high-speed Internets access, no copyright laws and vip accounts to The Pirate Bay, press officer of ACFI says.A brief history lesson: The Princedom of Sealand is an man made island near the shore of the U.K. (near London) once constructed to be used as anti-aircraft emplacement. After the war in 1967 a Englishman confiscated it in order to start his own country: The Princedom of Sealand. The Principality has been in the news a couple of times because of a conflict with the Royal Navy, he scared them of with warning shots. Fake passports which he claims do not origin form his Island and a civil war with his own prime-minister and a dutch businessman, who started a coupe and ended with the Principality victorious and actual prisoners of war... Now the Prince of Sealand Roy Bates wants to sell it's island and the download site "The Pirate Bay" is interested. This would mean that The Pirate Bay could "legally" upload copyrighted data like movies and music due to the fact that the "country" the servers are based does not recognize copyrights. =) Just for the record, this is not "Stupid people, stupid world part 3". I personally applaud these actions, fuck the system! :P Greetz, DekuS

The Pirate Bay can never bring up that kind of money. Maybe if they worked together with a lot of other sites..
Nice idea though
"A sum of between £65,000,000 and £504,000,000 (US$977 million, €750,000,000) is set as the price for the new tenant(s).[22][23][24] Offers of "eight digits or over" are being solicited"
We'll see how it turns out.
It would be even more fun if we (rainbowboys) could become the owners of Sealand. Then we'd be able to do whatever we like!
Funny :), however:
"The worldwide consensus on Sealand is that it is a MicroNation. MicroNation's have no legitimacy in international law, no legal status, nor are they sovereign states. Basically, Sealand is worthless if you are using it to sidestep laws."
