Pirate Bay wants to buy 'micronation' Sealand to overcome gambling restrictions
[Sunday, January 21, 2007]
|
|
The Pirate Bay is a Swedish file-sharing website that is interested in buying Sealand, a former British naval platform in the North Sea that has been designated a 'micronation'.
|
Located seven miles off the coast of England, Sealand was set up as a principality 40 years ago by Captain Roy Bates, who thereafter called himself 'Price Roy Bates'. Now the 'Bates Royal Family' wants to sell the 550 square metre platform for 65m.
The Pirate Bay group has set up a campaign to raise money to buy the self-declared sovereign nation. Outside the jurisdiction of the UK or any other country, The Pirate Bays believes it could safely run the world's largest 'bit torrent tracker'. Its plans are also to use Sealand as a possible location for online gambling. In this way, they could avoid all the laws being passed around the world top restrict online gambling activity.
Should The Pirate Bay not raise enough money to buy the Sealand micronation, they also have their sights set on Ladonia, situated at the edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Once ruled by King Ladon, this territory was declared independent in 1996.
