Reply to comment by fapplesauc3 in FCC Fines 15 Year-Old Pirate Radio Station in NYC $2 Million by blankblank

Broadcasting radio can interfere with emergency services communication which, literally, would harm people. The FCC is absolutely necessary to keep airwaves clear and organized.

Whether the spectrum is being used for something useful is debatable, but this guerrilla-style radio anarchy is not the way to make a statement -- especially in such a big metro area. It is most certainly not "based".

They were doing this for 15 years, they did nothing wrong other than piss off the regulatory capture agencies. I’m all for ensuring emergency services communication, but thats not what this is.
