Pirate Party Considers Floating Server Blimp

So these people are more willing to spend more avoiding having to pay for what they want (what a shocking concept!) than pay less just buying the content legititmately?
I can imagine how this conversation went down.
"We need like a blimp or something like that, make it all solar powered"
"nah nah nah, we need like a satellite IN SPACE! Then they won't be able to send in raid teams, cause there won't be any AIR!"
"Come on now, be realistic, a satellite? No we need a massive blimp"
"...Have you guys thought about...I don't know, a boat?"
"HAHAHA a boat? Come on boats are in water, and water damages electronics. No we need a satellite"

Rather than putting all eggs in one basket, it'd probably make more sense for them to look into future tech that could potentially decentralize even their servers.
Like...being able to run a site or network via a few servers in Russia...a few in China...a few in Sweden...a few in Haiti...ect. Meaning that even if one of these server sites was brought down by a raid, such as the one done in Sweden but for a longer time, it wouldn't matter one bit...at least not until we get a one world government anyway.
Something like that would probably cause far bigger headaches than a single floating or flying target that some 'unauthorized' or 'unknown' missile launch can easily bring down.

Jeeze guys just build an underwater utopia to house your servers already.

You wouldn't believe how many times that line when through my head when I was writing this.Treblaine said:
Uh...airspace is still in the jurisdiction of the country who owns it.
You would have to put your servers out over the ocean...and what's going to stop some national government from using your floating illicit servers as target practice?
And this creates the very real possibility of the computers pirates being threatened by REAL PIRATES.

I have an idea, just buy the games/movies. I honestly don't get what they hope to achieve. There are two types of media: free stuff on the internet, and stuff you have to pay for. Pirates want to make the second type free too, but why? None of that stuff, ie big-budget movies and games, will get produced if it can't turn a profit. So instead of being able to get some cheaply-made free stuff and some expensively-made stuff you have to pay for, all that will exist will be the cheaply-made free stuff. That's not better, thats just fewer options.
