Re: [IRCA] pirate story

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

I guess if you are going to break the laws...break them all. Let's see,
a pirate on the air without a license (however, the FCC would not issue
them one anyway, so why not do it?), second selling ads is not legal on
an unlicensed station, but going back to the first point, you already
are breaking the FCC rules by being on the air anyway. Then there is the
issue of paying royalaties to BMI, ASCAP, etc, but you should not be on
the air anyway. Forget all of the rules, just move your station out in
International Waters like Radio Hauraki did for so many years. 
But the Haitian pirates on the X Band in New England have operated
without any issues for years now. Why hasn't the FCC shut them down?
