   In 2010, Spain's Maria ?ngeles Dur?n laid claim to the sun, pointing   
   out that the UN Outer Space Treaty rules out 'national appropriation'   
   but not ownership by individuals.  While she hasn't begun the promised   
   billing of users of solar energy, she did, in 2013, commence eBay   
   sales of square-metre plots of the sun, accompanied by ownership   
   documents. After she had sold 1,000+ solar plots, eBay closed her shop   
   page for breach of the site's rules against selling intangible goods.   
   Arguing that the sun _is_ tangible, she responded by suing eBay for   
   breach of contract, and a Spanish court has now agreed to hear the   
   case.
