who knows about the validity of this article, but according to it, the bit torrent site thepiratebay.org wants to buy sealand, a 500 meter island, 7 miles off the coast of england.

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 its 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.

i’m totally donating $10 to get my pRon and warez and have dual citizenship at the same time ;)
