Greece sells airspace to TPB

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Athens, Greece - Political power in Athens, Greece, today signed an
agreement with representatives for The Pirate Bay (TPB) about exclusive
usage of the greek airspace at 8000-9000ft.

- This might come as a shock for many but we believe that we need to
both raise money to pay our debts as well as encourage creativity in new
technology. Greece wants to become a leader in LOSS, says Lucas
Papadams, the new and crisply elected Prime Minister of Greece.

LOSS that he is referring to is not the state of finances in the country but
rather Low Orbit Server Stations, a new technology recently invented by
TPB. Being a leader for a long time in other types of LOSS, TPB has been
working hard on making LOSS a viable solution for achieving 100% uptime
for their services.

- Greece is one of few countries that understands the value of LOSSes. We
have been talking to them ever since we came up with the solution seeing
that we have equal needs of being able to find financially sustainable
solutions for our projects, says Win B. Stones, head of R&D at TPB.

The agreement gives TPB a 5 year license to use and re-distribute usage of
the airspace at 8000-9000 ft as well as unlimited usage of the radio space
between 2350 to 24150 MHz. Due to the financial situation of both parties
TPB will pay the costs with digital goods, sorely needed by the citizens of
Greece.
