The Pirate Bay is trying to acquire its own country by purchasing Sealand, a small “island” made up of an abandoned gun battery near the UK “that was occupied, declared sovereign, and turned into an offshore data-center for sensitive information”. Kopimists can donate money to the cause with promises of “high-speed Internet access, no copyright laws, and VIP accounts to The Pirate Bay” for every citizen of Sealandia. If they can’t get enough money together for Sealand though, The Pirate Bay still promises to buy another small island somewhere and claim it as a sovereign state, so no investment goes unrewarded. I’d be interested to see just how far they could go around copyright laws if they did in fact become their own country, so donate now to a movement that could change the world.
