我笑了 好有創意 為了躲避查緝 居然想買下一個國家...好個TPB The owners and operators of the Peer-to-Peer network know as ThePirateBay have come across a shortcut that will render them immune to copyright laws. Following the announcement that the world's smallest country: Sealand - featured in the adjacent image - is for sale, ThePirateBay has revealed plans to purchase it. Sealand is a man-man island with its own flag, passports, currency and a population of around ten. The artificial island was initially called HM Fort Roughs and was a Maunsell Sea Fort. It is situated off the coast of England. But things will surely change if ThePirateBay manages to get a hold of the structure and move its head quarters there in order to avoid all forms of governmental jurisdiction. And of course that ThePirateBay is offering users not only a chance to help with the acquisition, but also citizenship. “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. Register and let us write history together,” stated ThePirateBay. ThePirateBay wants to purchase Sealand and the autonomy that comes with owning a structure in international waters. But if the Sealand transaction falls through, the tracker website has a plan B: “If we do not get enough money required to buy the micronation of Sealand, we will try to buy another small island somewhere and claim it as our own country (prices start from USD 50000).” http://tinyurl.com/y5gyys --
