Hmm. That's interesting. I thought it was an island.
Re: The Pirate Bay plans to buy an Island to break free
just check the opening image at www.piratebay.org, it depicts the platform itself.
Re: The Pirate Bay plans to buy an Island to break free
u know what i have never noticed that i should have read the first post properly,i watched a program on the telly about sealand the other night and they said it was only worth about£300,000.
the guy who owns it got kidnapped by some guys on the rig who tried to take it over so his son an ex army man got some of his old army mates with some big guns and took it back.They captured one of the guys put him in the cells on the rig and fined him £20,000 but got tired of waiting for someone to pay and released him.

Would be a good idea then we could all buy a sattelite dish off pirate bay and get our internet connection off them (no more dodgy letters of u isp) but i think nasa would charge a little bit more than they could afford to send one up
Re: The Pirate Bay plans to buy an Island to break free
I wonder if there's enough pirates to be able to afford to purchase a satellite and store all our files there. :shifty:
An out of this world idea!
Re: The Pirate Bay plans to buy an Island to break free
well with 1398701 members if each one gave £10 thats £13,987,010 not a bad start and if they advertized it i bet they could 10 times that amount.if they were going to do that i would certainly pay as im sure a few others would.
