> What is the legal definition of "interference" with respect to this statute?
“Any emission, radiation or induction that [...] seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunications service operating in accordance with this chapter.” (Emphasis added. The elision is specific to navigation and safety services.)
- notacoward 11y agoSo a particular bit pattern is an "emission, radiation, or induction" under the law? Interesting thought.
- kps 11y agoNo, the “emission, radiation, or induction” of the bit pattern is an “emission, radiation, or induction”. The bit pattern is perfectly fine; you can print it on a t-shirt or tattoo it on your forehead and the law won't care. You can even emit, radiate, or induce it as long as that doesn't willfully or maliciously seriously degrade, obstruct or repeatedly interrupt a radiocommunications service.

- wglb 11y agoNo, seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunications service is illegal under the law.
