No wonder why the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association is pushing its own state-level anti-pirate law....

Actually the proposed Mass law is pretty lame. It will give the attorney general the right to confiscate equipment but has no felony section.

I had one on 1710 a few years back that was running programming from a legit station on 1610, Radio Boston Latino.

I'm sure the folks at the legit RBL weren't happy about it. Especially as the pirate had the stronger signal. ;)
