Pirate Parties Plan To Shoot Site Into Orbit

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday October 21, 2010 @02:56AM from the in-space-no-one-can-hear-you-torrent dept.

palmerj3 writes "It is almost four years ago that The Pirate Bay announced they wanted to buy the micronation of Sealand, so they could host their site without having to bother about copyright law — an ambitious plan that turned out to be unaffordable. This week, Pirate Parties worldwide started brainstorming about a similarly ambitious plan. Instead of founding their own nation, they want to shoot a torrent site into orbit."

Dear Pirate Party,
Thank you for donating targets to us. We've been meaning to test our Space Object Destruction Laser®, but haven't found any suitable object to target. Because of your charity, we can now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operation system.
Sincerely,
The United States of America
