[BC] No time for pirates

your small claims suit would be tossed out as not in the jurisdiction of the court. Your civil action must follow federal action and you would have to prove loss.

Nothing to prevent a radio station from suing the pirate and the owner of the
property where the antenna sits. Theory of the suit would be damage to the
licensed radio station's business by the illegal signal.  The complaint could be
filed in small claims court, which usually can be done by just filing out a form
and paying a fee..

Of course, first you need to find the site, which might be hazardous in the
inner city.  But assuming you could locate the antenna, most states have tax
information on-line to identify the building owner.  Where the antenna is
mounted on-top of some high rise apartment building, I suspect at the first sign
of a complaint from small claims court the landlord would shut down the station.
