Our image of pirates has changed a bit since the high seas are largely under control (though there are some unruly ne'er-do-well factions marauding about in Indonesia). Pirates today seek digital booty, and as of this week, to buy a country so they can download in peace.
Okay, so it's not a country. It's Pirate Bay, the Swedish outfit that uses BitTorrent technology to help visitors download whatever they darn-well feel like is tired of being harassed by the Swedish government about their trade and has launched a campaign to buy Sealand.
Trying to extend supposed success in another "micronation," just $12), Pirate Bay is looking for a safe haven in the world for Internet pirates. Sealand, sovereign because of certain oversights in British law, is just the place.
