"Pirate radio" is illegal or unregulated radio transmission. Its etymology can be traced to the unlicensed nature of the transmission, but historically there has been occasional but notable use of sea vessels - fitting the most common perception of a pirate - as broadcasting bases. The term is most commonly used to describe illegal broadcasting for entertainment or political purposes, but is also sometimes used for illegal two-way radio operation. Rules and regulations vary widely from country to country. In the United States and many European countries, many types of radio licenses exist, and often the term "pirate radio" generally describes the unlicensed broadcast of FM radio, AM radio, or short wave signals over a wide range.
