The Pirate Bay moves in to a Dutch bunker
The Pirate Bay, the Swedish website that hosts all those torrents and was ordered to shut down, has found a new crib in our water-ridden little country. The Cyberbunker is a former nuclear bunker built by the military in Goes, Zeeland. It has everything a modern-day pirate needs, including surveillance, fresh water, sea and mussels, room to chillax and an allure blowing many cheap Hollywood hacking-cyber-nerd movie sets out of the water.
Pirate Bay had tried to buy the even cooler and more controversial micronation of Sealand a few years back, a no man’s land on a sea platform off the coast of England. The obvious Zeeland-Sealand pun is just one of life’s little linguistic coincidences.
