With  all of the TV and FM translator activity taking place today,  it's
interesting to consider that the very first translator stations  were
put together by "pirates" who wanted to bring television to  isolated
western communities, but couldn't do so without breaking the  rules.
Years later, the FCC bureaucrats realized these should be  legalized,
and now there are thousands.

Essentially the same for the early CATV businesses.  Early on many TV  
stations took small business CATV,  but essentially  NATV   Neighborhood Antenna TV 
systems, to court for retransmission of their  signals without permission and 
receiving an income for the service.
