Free Nation Foundation trying to found copyright-free nation
The Pirate Bay has expanded on its plans to buy Sealand and create an autonomous, no-copyright-zone. Now they've established the Free Nation Foundation, which "aims to found a new society based on the ideals of freedom, equality and sustainable growth" -- a nation where "important ideals" and not "wealth accumulation" rule the day.What islands are you considering?Link (via Digg)* The most likely island at the moment is Ile de Caille, off the coast of Grenada. We are still open to considering other islands – suggestions are welcome.
* However, the focus is not on a particular land mass at this time. The focus is building a strong foundation.
Update: Patrick sez, "The Free Nation Foundation isn't connected to The Pirate Bay, the idea simply began there and a group who had been involved/interested in the TPB Sealand project moved out on their own. There is no direct connection between them, and no plans for the new country to be a server farm. They're really trying to make their own society with the long term goal of buying an island and inhabiting it."
