Lance, you pompous left wing reactionary (?!?!??????).


    Whenever someone broadcasts something on the airwaves, everyone
    has a right to recieve and use it.   Period.   This is why beer
    & pizza joints can advertise the Super Bowl.  If it were illegal,
    they couldn't.  (Of course you can be sued if you copy various
    Decoders, for unscrambling certain broadcasts, even though you
    have every right to record the scrambled version).

    This is even the case of such things as Radar Detectors which
    search for the microwave emmission of cop's radar guns.
    Some states outlawed radar detectors (notably Texas), but the
    laws were struck down in federal court for precicely the above reason.

p.s. look up the definition of 'positive' in the fortune file.
