[TheList] Live streaming.

H all,
Yes, I agree with Richard too, live streaming of scanner audio is 
killing the hobby in the USofA and aren't the scanner listeners 
grizzling about it! But they were the instigators and now they are 
paying for it. Unfortunately they forced the 'legal' users of the 
communication systems into making encoding/encryption but as soon as a 
new 'disguise' is used the scanner manufacturers are more or less 
obliged to develop a decoding algorithm.
It is to our benefit that we have these laws about disclosure of what we 
hear. If journalists want to listen as well so that they can go 
'ambulance chasing' then hopefully they will get pinged one day so that 
we don't suffer the same consequences as in the US. It will only need 
one good court case to show that the information received was used to 
give the journo an advantage and then give him/her a hefty fine to prove 
the point.
Best regards - Martin.
