No, I am not making this up.

Although it sounds like an insane plan, the sheer Bond Villain absurdity of hosting a condemned website on flying robots is nothing short of awesome.

But wouldn't their land base be then performing the illegal activity of processing and distributing the data?

The only real way to get around it entirely is to make a permanent sea base that beams directly to satellite.

Currently there is one vessel capable of this that could potentially be bought. But it would cost probably a few million to buy and then renovate to operable order.

It could remain at sea nearly indefinitely as long as you could get spare parts, food, and supplies to it.




Short of a nuclear powered ship, I'm sure governments will just end up trying to shut down the relay station ignoring that the hard drives are on the drones. They'll probably say that the signal base is storing data even temporarily or find something to shut it down.

There's a reason this hasn't happened to TPB yet - The people who run it have links to top politicians in Sweden (where TPB is based) and this has granted them almost complete immunity over the years.

This whole thing is really just a method for when worse comes to worse and they can't be protected anymore. I will however say that the concept is very interesting. If a company could pioneer this technology and mass produce it then they could sell space on the drones to sites all over the net, effectively giving users freedom to host and access whatever information they desire.

Sounds like the movie "The Boat That Rocked" which was based on the real life radio station Radio Caroline.
