(I think they need to change the delivering it to you part)
Actually they send you blank deeds to a section of it, I thought it was funny, but it is a serious thing.

ha cool, they give away the planets too. I actually read an article about the guy who copyrighted that in the US back in the early 80s, no one contested it because they thought he was crazy.

Well he also copyrighted all of the planets, although since it isn't on earth he has no legal recourse if others want to sell parcels too.

But his gimmick has paid off, he is a millionare a few times over from the idea.

Funny what you can make lots of money from.

lol wtf, how they can sell something that they dont own? IF they can sell Moon, I can do that too. So, I am giving out acres on the Moon at $10 per acre, anyone interested? lol

lol you think it's a joke, but 1000s of people are buying it.

All we need to do is make image map and php db, and we'll let people pick their spots. We can sell the big giant hole on jupiter too.
