As a sidenote to this discussion, I recall running across a copy of a House
bill in the government-documents-repository section of my university
library (this was back in the early 60s) which was a resolution or
proposed legislation that explicitly stated that "No regulation or
law shall be interpreted to in any way restrict the right of any 
individual to receive any or all signals transmitted via the electromagnetic
spectrum" (or words to that effect). However, sadly, I believe that this,
one of the few worthwhile pieces of legislation I have ever read, was
never passed. Too bad. If it had been, this nonsense would have never arisen.
