The following is taken from the manual for the Ramsey Electronics SCA
decoder kit, part number SCA1C:

"*A note concerning commercial use*
Although you may listen to these SCA broadcasts in you own home, any
commercial usage, such as restaurant, bar, store or even at parties is
considered theft of service and the owner of the copyrighted SCA service
is entitled to collect payment. So, be cool, OK?"

I don't know how accurately this reflects the law, but it suggests that
"armchair listening at home" may not be illegal. Does anybody know where to
find the actual text of the law?

Is that true even for non-commercial armchair listening at home?


I'm pretty sure the law does not say "illegal, except for armchair
listening at home" so the answer would be yes.
