Pirate TV in eastern Europe TELEVISION HAS PLAYED an increasingly significant role in the downfall of Eastern Europe's one-party states. In Poland underground pirate video transmissions kept Solidarity alive for nearly 10 years. Last fall, East Germans judged the effects of their anti-government demonstrations by watching the coverage they received on West German news programs. In Romania, control of the television station is tantamount to control of the government.

Digit - Features - Pirate TV As we move to a world where all entertainment is delivered digitally, the battle over copyright protection is turning into a full-blown war. And consumer rights may end up being the biggest casualty as media companies hunker down and try to redefine what users can and can’t do with the content they’ve paid for and the hardware they own.

Berkeley Daily Planet The television monitors, DVD players and amplifiers in Free Radio Berkeley’s West Oakland warehouse are more than just a jumble of hardware.

Mutiny on the Airwaves I know - this is about pirate radio, but I found it while surfing for PTV. It includes the statement, "The equipment to broadcast television is a bit more extensive and expensive than radio but not very hard to work with. Your biggest expense most likely will be your camera, or your jail sentence. Just kidding! If you transmit less than 15 minutes at a time, you can't get tracked down by the FCC. They usually need to be clued in to your transmissions by your own attempts at publicity or a complaint from someone picking up your signal. Most people get off for their first offense."

Tiny Television The very presence of pirate radio and TV stations has forced changes in the law. In Prague, Radio Stalin took up residence in the base of a toppled Stalin statue. It proved so popular that no one dared shut it down. Consequently, new laws were written and there are now hundreds of tiny radio stations in the Czech Republic. In Russia, Ukraine and many other places, tiny local stations became so popular that government attempts to shut them down failed, and they now exist legally.
