This is just one way for the powers that be to make sure that nobody has a
voice unless they have money and make a profit. I would hope that if all
this goes down then they make some provision for an "amateur's license" for
non-commerical hobbyists, but I'm sure that's not even a snowball's chance
in hell

I think you're right, but Olaf's point brings up an interesting quesiton,
and
I'll bet someone here knows. Since this is now a question of US law, who,
exactly, does it apply to? Stations whose CEO is an American citizen?
Stations
whose administrative contact is based in the US? Stations whose servers are
hosted in the US? Is there a way to just take the stations offshore? Of
course, at that point, then t-bird's take on it becomes that much more
likely.
