Marine Broadcasting Offences Act
From Media UK's The Knowledge. Last update: 14:28, 31 Oct 2005 by Stuart Pinfold.
The 'Marine Broadcasting Offences Act' allowed the UK government to close down Pirate Radio stations operating from ships around the UK.
These ships avoided the previous law because no rulings about commercial broadcasts (as opposed to ship broadcasts) existed for offshore broadcasts.
