Duran claims on solar powered by the court. He even announced it would charge a fee to all those who take advantage of the sun.
International treaty does prohibit a state claim ownership of the sun and other celestial objects. However, it does not apply to Maria Angeles Duran. Women from Vigo, Spain, this claim had sun. Claim ownership was declared in 2010 ago.
Not only the claims. Duran said at that time will attract a fee to everyone for any use of the sun. Even more remarkable, the claims Duran was recognized by the Spanish court. And it really happened. Real. Although until now not a single person on Earth who receive a bill from Duran.
Duran action did not stop there. Ambition business continues to explode. So recently her offered plots on the surface of the sun to the eBay page. One square meter he offers 1 Euro.
Unfortunately, Duran accounts blocked by eBay due to the sun offer. Blocked, 55 women did not receive this year.
Her sued eBay to court and ask eBay to pay 10 thousand Euros, or approximately USD 150 million. Duran considers eBay has taken a commission from her, but did not allow him to receive payment of those who bought a celestial body that he was selling.
Received the lawsuit, eBay tried to resolve this problem outside the realm of law. However Durat not want to resolve this case, except in legal channels. Moreover, the court in the city of Madrid declared Duran entitled dragging eBay to court.
In 2010 ago, when the first claim ownership of the sun, Duran expressed her claim is based on the law. "I'm not stupid, I know the law," Duran said at the time.
Duran using existing gap in the "Outer Space Treaty" which states that no country which claims sovereignty over celestial bodies. According to Duran, she was not included in the agreement, because it is not a state.
The agreement applies only to the countries in the world. So as individuals, Duran felt entitled to assert a claim on celestial bodies, including the sun.
Many people overlook this Duran claims. Many think who else would buy land in the sun. In addition to the millions mile distance, certainly there were no occupants. Although there are desperate to get there, certainly will not get, because it is very far away. And the reckless approaching the sun, must melting in the middle of the road because of fire.
Many people may just pout Duran. But look at the claims of women who thought this strange. Although this offer looks strange, in fact, Duran claimed that the offer posted on eBay, there is also an antidote. The amount is not small. He claims to have 600 orders with a value of 1,200 Euro.
