Actually, I'd like to have the regulations changed. However, the more that
amateurs ignore existing regulations the less the FCC will trust us. The SS
restriction is one of the few provisions that the FCC actually cares about.
They have given a legal opinion and can monitor this mailing list to see
whether people comply.

On a 1st offence, even in the USA, I would expect a warning at least
before the full force of the law was applied.
Even over here it's rare for someone to be band for a technical
infringement of the rules.
I suspect a little over egging the pudding is going on...
Maybe by people who, dare I say it, want to frighten others into not
using the program?
