not want you on air and to effect your departure raids took place. Often a raid would suffice to have
the station at least lay low for awhile but in order to send out warnings to others, court cases
followed and station operators were fined a paltry amount which rarely served as a deterrent.
Occasionally the pirate stations found themselves further up the court chain other than the District or
Circuit Courts. From time to time the names of the illegal pirate radio stations found themselves
been spoken of in the hallowed corridors of both the High Court and even the Supreme Court. Here
are some of the High Court appearances of pirate stations from 1978 - 1988.
