For any one, or even several, pirate stations, I wish we had what you're saying. Unfortunately it doesn't scale generally.

- happytiger 3y agoIt's resilience to authority precisely because it doesn’t scale. But half a city in a crisis isn’t nothing. And goodness knows there have been some pretty big reach pirate stations. Its haphazard and low tech nature is the uncontrollable resilience most Internet systems lack.
- Aurornis 3y agoIf the goal was to disseminate information in the event of an authoritarian dystopian future, setting up a pirate radio station now and broadcasting music is a great way to ensure your plan fails completely when it's needed. Pinpointing the source of these radio transmissions isn't hard with modern equipment. Amateurs do it all the time. It's trivial to map these things out in the era of accessible flying machines and cheap technology.
