With the recent changes in the law regarding Pirate Radio is anyone looking
What changes? At the Cato Institute holiday party last night, I was speaking to a lawyer from the Institute for Justice about pirate radio lawsuits. The changes you mention didn't come up. What are they?
Recently a pirate radio was charged by the FCC for operating without a license. The judge in the case heard the arguments and said their was merit in the question of constitutionality of the FCC regulations. The radio was allowed to stay on the air while both sides prepared their cases. Apparently the judge said something about this being the first time such constitutional questions had been raised. There is also at least one piece of cpunks traffic in this about 2 weeks old when the judge made the ruling. I believe there might be something at one of the ARRL sites. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | | We built your fort.
