This episode takes the notion of 'pirate radio' into the space age future. At the time, pirate stations operated from ships anchored just outside the legal limit of a nation's shoreline. Almost 50 years or so later, the concept of actual satellite radio, available to subscribers, would enter the entertainment market in 2002.
