[Spooks] censorship again

Sat, 11 Oct 2003 08:54:28 -0230

speaking of censorship, I wonder what the "laws" would be in terms of
broadcasting and listening in North Korea - the ultimate in totalitarian
regimes! People with SW radios would find it a godsend to actually learn
more about the outside world (and the fact that people actually have basic
human rights there) instead of the propaganda of VOK. 73s, Sue

The following sums up the law in France :

http://www.u-e-f.net/lois.htm

A very strict reading of it would ban
owning/detaining/selling/buying/importing
any type of device that would enable listening anything besides
broadcasting,
ham and CB bands.

As home wireless phones (not cell phones) operate here between 13m broadcast
and CB bands (roughly 26200-26500) an ICF SW-7600GR for instance would be
perfectly illegal.

You would even be liable to bring your grandma's valves set to the nearest
Police Department (perhaps, the same PD where she brought it in... 1941
after
having been caught listening to the BBC >:-> )

Only very low-end SW receivers would be allowed.

But, it is fortunately not strictly observed.

The tricky point is that the State could also be considered by a nifty
defence lawyer as an accomplice (19.6% VAT) in case of a judicial dispute.

This reminds me the case of Eastern Europe with their FM band starting at 66
MHz,
as authorities were worried people could hear programmes originating from
the
'reactionnary forces backing the American wary imperialism'.
