Pirate nostalgia

This last few week there has been no end of pirate radio nostalgia emanating from the United Kingdom with commemorations of the 40th anniversary of the Marine Offences Act, which saw the outlawing of the offshore radio staions in 1967.

The national newspapers have been full of reports of the swashbuckling pioneers from the 1960s and the broadcasts recreating those days via the Red Sands Radio RSL and Pirate BBC Essex.

Read about one writer's view in an item called Could Pirates Rule The Airwaves Once More? on The Guardian newspaper's blog at http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/08/piracy.html
