Why is Streetz 96.5 still on the air?

I first heard the Streetz 96 pirate station September 2006. It plays hip hop, some of it uncensored. It even has commercials! The signal seems strongest in Newark, NJ, even bleeding on to WQXR. It's still on the air as of tonight. Their signal goes as far south as New Brunswick, north into Westchester county, east into Nassau county. I've filed an interference complaint on the FCC website twice, yet they are still on the air. Looking through the FCC database of NALs, they were issued a Notice of Apparent Liability earlier this year. Why is the station not shut down yet?
 
The NAL is probably being used as a liner for the birdcage. Nobody takes them seriously.

The FCC rules need teeth. You break the rules, you get warned. You break them again, you get tossed in the cooler for a month or two and have leans placed against you to pay the fines. That will clean up the airwaves right quick. These days it should be fairly easy. Just fly it under the banner of national security and it'll float right through Congress.

Boston has a lot of Pirates. I didn't realize that NY/NJ did too.

I wonder how the liberal New York Times, the owners of WQXR, will handle their stations' signal being comprimised.
