<DIV dir=ltr>The term "Pirate radio" is about as definitive as "Processed
Meat" or "Chemicals"!<BR>They're media umbrella terms that are so broad as to
be effectively useless in accurate communication.

<LI><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We have had the Offshore Pirates - Radio
Caroline, Radio London and many others - who were killed of by the totally
political and artificial Marine Offences Act - which resulted in Radio 1 -
accepted as long as Radio 1 is your kind of thing.</SPAN>
<LI><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We have the rise to fame of Radio Jackie
which proved that a formula outside the existing BBC and IBA structure was
viable - and brought about another change in Law - generally
welcomed.</SPAN>
<LI><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We have the crossover from Pirate to
Community Radio of just a few - I make it a total of three - again -
welcomed.</SPAN>
<LI><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">There are the social pirates who are doing
a good job and who as such are not generally hassled by authority but who
can't afford the process to legitimacy - should be encouraged to toe the
line</SPAN>
