FCC Enforcement: Questionably Redundant and Retributive

[ChrisSmolinski]

From a very interesting post at DIYmedia.net: http://diymedia.net/archive/0912.htm#090612

"NALs and forfeitures from Florida this year cite "investigation" involving the browsing of station web sites, Facebook pages, and noting how active the stations actually are in their local communities. This, apparently, warrants a heavier hand, and adds evidentiary fodder to the old adage that the life cycle of a pirate station is inversely proportionate to its publicity. There is no easy solution to this dilemma, though it is interesting that the FCC considers this more "willful and egregious" behavior than simply putting an unlicensed signal on the air, which is really the only thing it's supposed to care about."

Seems obvious to me why Florida is a hotspot for enforcement - people might be sending coded secrets to the CUBANS! *gasp*

 

Peace!
