全球最著名的BT下载组织Pirate Bay近日宣布,进行一项大规模筹款活动,以建立其一个完全没有版权限制的国家。
Pirate Bay本周方言欲"购买西兰公国(Sealand)"――后者是世界上最小的国家,人口不足5人。
Pirate Bay希望筹集足够1亿英镑捐赠,所有捐赠人将获得未来的国家公民资格。
如果收购西兰的计划失败,Pirate Bay将转而收购其他小岛,然后宣布建国。
"新国家将成为所有人的网络乐土,拥有高速网络连接,无版权法的阻挠。"
建立国家难道如同申请域名一样容易么?
西兰历史:二战时期英国为了抵御德国的空中打击,便在英国东海岸的一个小岛上建造了一个军事堡垒。二战过后大批军队撤出该堡垒,这里便成了无人管理的地区。1967年9月2日,前英国 Paddy Roy Bates 少校带着他的家人来到了岛上并定居该地,从此对外宣称独立。
同年该国制造了自己的国旗、国徽、货币等专属物品,该国家的货币等价于美元。几十年来只能通过直升飞机与小船才能到达。
Buy Sealand? Is it possible?
January 09th, 2007
ACFI is a group of people working for the peoples right to it's Internets. We have made progress in Ladonia and are now working on the Micronation of Sealand.
Recently it was made clear that this country is for sale. To make sure the owners will be kopimistic and that the country won't be governed by people that do not care about it's future, we have come up with a plan.
With the help of all the kopimists on Internets, we want to buy Sealand. Donate money and you will become a citizien.
We've set up a forum to discuss how the country is supposed to function.
― It should be a great place for everybody. With high-speed Internets access, no copyright laws and vip accounts to The Pirate Bay, press officer of ACFI says.
Register and let us write history together.
Plan B: If we do not get enough money required to buy the micronation of Sealand, we will try to buy another small island somwhere and claim it as our own country (prices start from USD 50 000).
