For 5 minutes? Don't you think that's a little too much? ;)

I was being sarcastic. I don't think 5 minutes is enough to get noticed. But then again, at least you're doing something about it.

I'm curious, why were you taken off the fm band? Copyright infringement?

We were a pirate radio station and just cos we had no license to be on fm we got shut, btw I do apologise for not getting the sarcasm but I dont see why our listeners should suffer due to political idiocy. However I do appreciate the cause which is why were falling silent, to give people a chance to reflect on what a world would be like censored.

I have tried my best to put accross the plight of pirate fm stations in the uk, but we can do more here if we stop this censorship before it starts :)

I think it's a good statement. At least the listeners will notice about it and make them think about it also. 5 minutes is enough for that. The guys in charge at SOPA and PIPA wouldn't even notice if the station was taken out a whole month. But it's to make the listeners aware of it so they could take action as well.

When I was young I also had a pirate fm radio station with a friend of mine. We could reach pretty far and his neighbors were getting crazy of it, cz we took their whole fm band hahaha. Once just after we stopped an emission, we saw the R.O.D. (Dutch Radio Police) searching for us in the neighborhood hahaha. I think that's when we stopped.

Lol cool, we were a bit more careful with transmitting and were quite proffessional... then they raided our studio 8 policemen and 2 Ofcom guys (UK Radio police) all bursting in on a 15yr old kid behind the turntables.

I got the transmitter taken and a caution letter I had to signed but had I been 18 it'dve been £5000 fine or 2yrs in jail.

Yeah, especially since the US Federal government brought down a file transfer service that Trance Podium often uses.
Now known as Randy Derricott. I may sometimes use the DJ Ranz alias for certain projects though.
