    i think its all being sold off or scrapped, suppose they could buy 1 of them.

    Someone tried taking over that sealand years ago, a dutch person but then they went back with loads of their mates nd took back over again

    Havenco is pretty much out of business. Its a burned out platform for the most part now. I imagine they have their website hosted elsewhere or atleast colocated.

    Straight from digg.com :

    http://buysealand.com/

    check it out... the biggets torrent site online is asking for donations in order to buy an island called sealand which is considered its own country... but UK says it still is considered there territory... what do you think? paying almost 990,000,000 dollars in order to be able to pirate media?

    I know one of the investors/founders of HavenCo, the guys that built out the Internet infrastructure there 6 or 7 years ago (it seems like that long ago anyway). Maybe I should give him a call to see what's up. Certainly would be a funny turn of events for Pirate Bay. :)

    I think the next step would be for them would be to add an Indian Reservation along with a Gambling Casino.

    In fact Indian reservations should consider this opportunity alone and found themselves their own gambling paradise, LOL
