[BC] Iowa Pirate

[Alan Alsobrook]

We've put some in Jail in Florida, Still have a long way to go, but it 
actually makes the FCC feel better when they get refused and can turn 
around to the FDLE guys and say your turn.

I haven't checked on the final outcome but the first case under the 
Florida law went to trial in Tampa in late June.

Reading that Order sure gives you an idea of the frustration that the 
FCC enforcement people must feel while trying to shut down a pirate station.
