We, /g/ should start our own ISP.
An ISP that spits in the face of copyright law, that spits in the face of DRM, and that spits in the face of the government. A free ISP. The ISP that the world needs.

My idea was to make it so the employees/ISP didn't even have access to the data of their users, so the government can't force us to give it to them.

Well they wouldn't have access.. It would be stored on the companies (ours) personal encrypted cloud. Therefore it cannot be stolen... Also storage space don't cost too much these days, so we could give each ISP a 'mega' style service with xx storage space. Just make sure our customers are untouchable... By anyone... government, hollywood, copyright...

The hardest part of running your own, completely independent (except for connection to backbones) ISP is laying the cable, unless you're somewhere rural where no one minds if you dig a trench through their property. Dealing with mnicipalities and digging up streets or using utility poles can be incredibly expensive.
I believe most independent ISPs just resell service from Comcast/AT&T etc.

I was using it as example how even Antarctica, a place that is almost uninhabitable and only populated by teams of researchers, has mostly been claimed, try finding an actual island not owned by someone, it will be literally impossible
Sealand used an abandoned oil rig formerly owned by the UK, it is a unique case of extreme opportunism, you cant just decide to look for some unclaimed land one day and expect to find some
