The Pirate Bay to Get a Bay (kind of), Wants to Buy Nation of Sealand January 15, 2007

To stop the international copyright laws that have been plaguing The Pirate Bay, they are looking to purchase the micronation of Sealand. This nation is really just a British naval platform in the North Sea. Donating to the cause will guarantee you citizenship at Sealand.
The "island" of Sealand, seven miles off the coast of southern England, was settled in 1967 by an English major, Paddy Roy Bates. Bates proclaimed Sealand a state, issuing passports and gold and silver Sealand dollars and declaring himself Prince Roy.
Spanish appraisers valued the estate at £504 million which is nearly $1 billion. Prince Michael (son of Roy) told the London Times that it is hard to actually gauge how much this island will cost. If TPB cannot raise enough money for Sealand they plan to continue their search to buy another small island and declare it a nation. All I have to say: Awesome! I'll donate. –Travis Hudson
