J:
hmm, now that's an interesting question then. if he's basically a stateless entity, operating outside of any nation's jurisdiction, is he therefor not bound by any laws at all?
and if that's the case, then presumably he's probably not under the protection of any such laws either. so then is any country with the capability free to just shoot him down at their own discretion?

Luckily, I happen to be a visitor of pointless sites, so I am aware of a possible legal precedent.
See why Hannerdad prolly doesn't own Station here.
This, of course, does not take into account the issue of Station having civil rights, for instance.
Method of Madness:
To Loki - Not being able to own a natural space object like a star or satellite doesn't mean you can't own a space station. That being said, I would say that Hannerdad probably owns the station, but he doesn't own Station.
To J - I'd be very surprised any country did have that capability.

And this brings up an interesting question in my mind. Do AIs have citizenship? I would hope they're legally entitled to some sort of citizenship, although with some AIs, such as Station, it's not clear what country they would be a citizen of. Perhaps AIs have their own government that they're citizens of? Or some sort of world AI union?
Warning - while you were typing a new AI gained sentience and posted in the forums. You may with to review your post. Or not, your call.
Method of Madness:
That's why I made the distinction between Station and the station. Hannerdad probably owns the station, and Station might own anywhere from his main server to all the computing equipment on the station (at least the one he controls directly).
