According to this Swedish news site

Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay is planning to buy its own nation in an attempt to circumvent international copyright laws.

The group has set up a campaign to raise money to buy Sealand, a former British naval platform in the North Sea that has been designated a ‘micronation’ and claims to be outside the jurisdiction of the UK or any other country.

Hat tip: The Trademark Blog, who quips “In a related story, the RIAA has Announced Formation Of Its Own Navy.”
