Pirate Bay to Buy Own Nation

and will the media companies invade?

lol, thats just silly.

Why: I wont work.
Why: Becouse Sealand is inside the British zone, and therefor they wont stand a chance in court.

Nice way to get some extra donations tho.

scamming pricks , you'll get some tossers that will throw the cash to pirate bay , only to have pirate bay say" we decided not to buy it , but hey thanks for the cash anyway" same thing that lokitorrents did , got everyone throwing cash to them for money for lawyers raised a shitload of cash , then they disappeared

The soverienty of Sealand was origionally under dispute, but since 1987 it has been oficially under the jurestiction of the UK, when the UK government extended it's territorial boundaried to 12 nautical miles from the coast, bringing Sealand within UK borders. Source: Wikipedia:

the other problem is that as far as i know no country acknowledges sealand with being a country


The Bates family are flat broke and are selling up simply because they have realised that there is no way they can make their soverienty claim stand should they get into legal trouble. They even have a disclaimer in their sales

but they also say if sealand doesn't go through they're just going to buy another island.

there are no islands. There are no micronations for sale. Everywhere in the world is governed by someone

It isn't a matter of getting the island its a matter of making every single other nation in the world recognize you as a soverign nation

Stealing sucks
