(from the artcle) :"The FCC says that "frivolous, casual, or other uses of EAS Tones for reasons other than their defined purpose can desensitize
viewers to the tones and thereby undermine the effectiveness of the system in the event of an actual emergency."

I didn't know that the tones were copywrited !!
I beleive that the funds will be used to put FCC monitors into various newsrooms to make sure only certain reports are 'news worthy' !!

Govt can’t copyright stuff. It was produced by ‘us’ and belongs to ‘us’.
