Ship Ahoy!
Arch freedom-of-copyright-advocaters / thieving bit-torrent pirates The Pirate Bay are trying to circumvent tiresome copyright laws by setting up their own country. They are planning to buy Sealand, and set up their own laws which would allow Bit Torrent the same rights as every other human being (rar only).
Sealand was established in the 40s as a sea fort to fight off approaching Germans - and has itself been invaded a couple of times, by squatters and then the Bates family.
