Apparently not, because the fines, etc are most likely never collected. 
Obviously the equipment is easy to come by, so if a raid happens, they can 
be back on within a day.

At last count a couple weeks ago there were 18 FM pirates on the air in 
Boston. Brockton has 12 as of last night. There are several on AM as well, 
including one in Boston on 1580, right up next to 1570.
