22. I just don't get it. If it was FCC violation (illegal broadcast)...
... then I'd understand. If the supposed illegal TV channel al-Manar is not gaining any financial benefit from being broadcast in the United States then what crime did this HD-TV Ltd company do by rebroadcasting this particular TV station? Now if HD-TV Ltd and al-Manar entered into a financial agreement then I can understand that might be in violation.
The earlier poster of Germans being arrested for listening to the BBC was about the right analogy here, but it was more like the owner of a transmitter in Nazi Germany being arrested for re-broadcasting the BBC.
I supposed hardened al-Manar fans can still get the channel by getting the right equipment or even "shock horror" streamed online over the Internet!
