Seems that CETI recently determined that radio signals from earth fade into noise after about a light year. If true, this is a complete waste of money.
“will transmit it digitally”

Actually reassuring to me, as saying “here we are” to whatever the Hell is out there seems like a stupid idea.
Predator and prey is probably pretty standard fare in the galaxy.
AND the idea that a expansionist xenophobic (by which I mean “kill everything not like us”) society managed to conquer its own planet and expand to others is not implausible in the least.
I mean, think if Islam conquered the Earth.
Well, eventually (assuming its luddite tendacies did not occur), they’d look elsewhere to spread their disease, er, their religion — by force if necessary.
Very possible.
Saying “over here, over here!” to a potentially hostile galaxy just struck me as a tad bit naive.
But, if it's not true are we still in violation of copyright laws if we record it from the transmission?
