Read article 35! A radiostation is not allowed to have ties with a political party. According to article 31 paragraph 4 a podcast is a radio station. If Verstrepen would have send a letter, he would never have had permission to have a podcast!
He tried to avoid this by using an American provider to host his podcast, but that didn't help.
Yes, Mr Verstrepen broke the law, and he knew he did. But this law is simply ridiculous. Yes, it is needed to regulate radiostations because the number of frequencies is limited, but the number of podcasts isn't. Why is a politician allowed to have blog, but not to have a podcast? Can anyone explain that to me? Sometimes, the only way to bring ridiculous regulation under attention is breaking it.
