Explanation:

Pirate Radio is a term that identifies a specific type of activity in radio broadcasting. The term emerged in the early 1960s in England to identify radiations in FM whose broadcasting station was on a ship off the British coast, but out of the control of the sea miles. This station considered illegal by the British government was set up by young people who they did not accept the state monopoly and did not support the schedules of the official stations controlled by the government. Pirate had a musical production based on the counterculture movement that had no space on official stations and was fought by the conservative programming of English culture. To combat it, the English government expanded its dominion over sea miles. When the pirate radio was seized there was a reaction of the English youth that caused to appear hundreds of transmitters in English territory. Therefore the term Pirate applies specifically to the illegal radiations that transmit from the sea to the earth.
