iTrip for iPod Illegal in the UK

A gadget that lets you send songs from Apple's iPod music player to an FM radio has fallen foul of UK laws.
A N Micro, the UK distributor of the iTrip, said use of the device was prohibited under the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949.
The act forbids the use of radio equipment without a license or an exemption.
The iTrip transmits at very low power on an FM frequency and so in theory could interfere with broadcasts from a radio station.

But you'd only affect the station locally, and not probably farther than your car. Might might for some interesting looks on people's faces in a traffic jam.
record an MP3 of a radio broadcast of some horrible disaster, or of some old radio horror show and play it. Mwuhaha!
