If you like music, or just once in your life you have been moved by the song, I like this movie, or at least enjoy it for what it is, without too much criticism.

Wikipedia on ‘The Boat That Rocked’
“After the film’s commercial and critical failure in the UK it was re-edited and retitled Pirate Radio for release in the United States and Canada on 13 November 2009.”

Saw it on a plan about a year ago, it was a good bit of fun. The government was most amusing.

Fermi, why are you curious about a movie about radio pirates pirating a product under another name? It seems intrinsically logical to me!

You’re right. I wonder why they changed the name to “Pirate Radio”…

I watched 2012 the other day, and I was a bit annoyed that no one in the U.S. government considered the possibility that the private sector could build more ships than a secret Chinese government program!

Unfortunately the high-seas are no longer as free as they once were. If you do not have registration in a country and display the flag, you are classified as a pirate ship and anyone’s military is allowed to board you. There are very few countries left that don’t sign all the trade agreements so the window is closing on being able to do something like pirate radio or sea-steading.

Pirate radio is still a real possibility and I have even seen some preliminary investment drafts. Investors would give money to a company to setup an off-shore transmitter. It would transmit encrypted copyright data. It would make money by charging people for the decryptors or through advertising. People would buy it because of the amount of material that would be on offer, all the movies/music/software/books/games/information they could want. They could even transmit requests to the ship. Because it is all wireless its impossible to block and no one will have the authority to shut it down.
