    The Pirate Bay.. Forming a country?

    http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070202-8762.html

    The dream refuses to die. After The Pirate Bay failed in its quest to buy Sealand, some supporters of the idea believed that the idea of a libertarian paradise was too precious to drop, and they entertained hopes of hoisting the "live free or die" flag over another island, possibly Ile de Caille, a small and uninhabited island off the South American coast.

    Thus began the Free Nation Foundation, a group that hopes to form its own country governed by a "philosophy of freedom" where "people could actually live" (as opposed to all those other countries, where living has been outlawed by tyrants).

    If I had read this article correctly... That means they are Moving Piracy to a free country... and are working with the Free Nation Foundation, to form a country of internet pirates...


    I could be entirely wrong.. but..

    Imagine if that were the case... and they formed and ACTUAL country where piracy was allowed...

    Anyone else feel the epic destiny of that thought??

    I don't know about you guys... but if that place exists in 10 years im moving in!

    On the assumption you understood the article correctly (I don't have time to read it right now), allowing piracy is basically allowing theft. So moving there would mean high crime rate! So unless you're building Fort Knox down there, how willing are you to move now?

    That was about as dumb a statement as I have ever heard.

    Indeed that is a retarded statement.

    However on the subject, piracy is at its peak day to day so would it make such a difference?
