What might this do to the salvage rights?
This BBC plus the other links may shed a bit of light on the matter.
basically there are a load of thieves (Pirates? ) hanging around the site.

A philosophy student in CA ( where else? ) is offering his life to the highest bidder. He'll review his life history ( only 24 years ) and introduce you to all his friends, family, work place buddies and his ex-girl friend. Plus, you'll get a four-week course on his philosophy! I haven't checked, but there was one bid at $ 5,900 early this morning.
Sounds a little over-priced to me. 
But at least you now know where you can "get a life"!

Don't worry, kbear, I heard today the an even better item is available, especially useful for some of those 65% of the country who are spending too much time with their computers!

Now who or what is it that's (allegedly) born every minute?
It also turns out that it was NOT P.T. Barnum who said it according to The Wikipedia

That's interesting. Another "rural legend" debunked.
Just heard the other day about an 1890's story of a fisherman swallowed by a giant fish, then being rescued. It's not true either. Just some zealous person trying to prove Jonah and the "whale" was possible.

I don't believe it. But there's a sucker born every minute who would.
