They say, "This means that all you need to do to turn the Raspberry-Pi into a (ridiculously powerful) FM Transmitter..." and claim it's transmitting at least 50 meters away, which is far beyond what's allowed by the FCC. Not that they'd care unless someone filed a complaint.

Wrong. There are multiple rules for different spectrum. Anyone can transmit for miles on FM in the 'green dot' / 'blue dot' spectrum. The laws were written for business, but anyone can use them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_band#Overview http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_band#Overview

    This can be configured in software. Pi can transmit up over 450 Mhz.

      And with a paperclip antenna, it's leaking harmonics all over the place, not just at 450MHz or 100MHz, or whatever.
