How about doing what radio pirates did, and having a station in international waters?
You are still bound by whatever law your vessel is registered under, but many of them just don't care. If you (probably illegally) could send out an autonomous unregistered vessel, it would be really hard to take out.
An armada of solar powered autonomous buoys ... that would also be kind of cool.
- eli 15y agoThis all seems a little silly. How does it connect to the Internet? Keep in mind the main point is to obscure where it's proxying to.
- rdl 15y agoThere are ITU treaties and maritime laws which have changed since the pirate radio period of the 1960s, mainly to eliminate that possibility (mostly as a secondary consequence of trying to prevent platforms for territorial claims for oil/gas/mining at sea being used to exploit resources far from shore.) I actually don't know what the rules would be for an autonomous sea robot (which wasn't transmitting, and which wasn't a hazard to navigation), like those ocean monitoring glider things. It might still have to be registered as a ship with a flag, but I don't know if there would be liability (other than seizure of the robot) for the operators otherwise.
