ow do folks, just thought i'd tell you about our predicament.
we've had a visit from the police issuing us with a Cease and Desist order to shut our station down. which we are NOT going to do, we are the last Pirate broadcasting in Amsterdam and now they wqant us gone.
it will cost us 5000 euros to get bail when we are raided. i was involved with a station in Liverpool that got fucked over by the Man, now its happening here.
all we want to do is play music and have a good time. FUCKERS!!! rant over

Live to fight another day, if you get raided, you risk having all your equipment taken away aswell as a fine.
You could always go the internet broadcast way for a while, then re-establish when you are no longer being pressured.
I Fuking hate it when pirate stations get shut down.

well this is a hard choice my man! if you really care about it either way is going to be OK i guess, but if you want to make a stand, do it!... its all in your heart as to what you are going to do..
It does suck a lot though.. goddamn!

dang, that must suck after all the effort required to get it running.
I wish I had a solution for some advice but I can't think of anything that hasn't allready been suggested. (being the last pirate station in amsterdam mustn't help either)

things are looking up, if we follow a few 'rules' it looks like we might be able to get round it legally.
basically the police and authorities dont want to make too many waves so we could be ok,
fingers crossed
we are here by the way:

you'd be surprised how tough the laws are in Holland, quite a conservative place at times
