Sealand is for Sale!

That Bates guy's a star! He chucks the original squatters off, claims it as his own, gets some pretty smart lawyers, sets himself up as royalty, and now he's old and knackered is trying to sell the 'principality' for some cool money, he can't officially sell 'Sealand' as the MoD still own it, so he's selling his 'title' instead.

What a hero! When's the film coming out? Bet Tom Hanks plays him!

Well we expect very little resistance so it should just be a case of climbing a ladder, or just landing on there in a helicopter. I dought they could do anything about it seen as we would be armed with a M4 BB gun, a BB M3 Shoutgun, and a hell of a lot of knifes and other stabbing weapons.

They've had attempts to "invade" before - some of them got pretty serious - they do have weapons on Sealand.

You'd probably have found yourself in deeper than you could cope, possibly literally.

Not exactly a huge network center; they have a few racks of servers there owned by a company called HavenCo.

From the very official.. acceptable use policy -
Sealand currently has no specific regulations regarding patents, libel, restrictions on political speech, cryptography, restrictions on maintaining customer records, DMCA or music sharing services.

Reckon I could just setup the new napster (like it was in the golden days), whack some google ads on it and make a mint?

Better than that - take in the russian one.
 
lol yeah, probably less suspicious posing as a real site, free money too. I can't see me being held liable for it.. might do it..

Well first of all, you couldn't put Google ads on it – that would be against their T&Cs. You'd find it hard to sell music using a merchant service, as well, as I'm sure most companies offering such services would cut you off at the first threat of legal action. Similarly, I'm sure bandwidth providors would be put under pressure to disassociate themselves from you once they get a letter or two from the RIAA/BPI.

Failing that, I can't exactly see an international uproar if the British armed forces raided the place and confiscated all of your equipment ;)
