Lets face it, the music industry would be screwed without it.
I used to play on Star FM in Derby and several major labels used to send me promos.They also brought up and coming artists along to perform live and interview on air. So that throws the 'ripping off copyright' argument out of the window.
As for pirates interfering with emergency services, anyone who has ever used a scanner will know the emergency services use a totally different frequency.
Did you know you can go to jail for two years for playing on a community station?
And if you enjoy listening to reggae music, for example, can you name a legal station that caters for this?
I reckon the government enjoys the control and the fat 50 grand licence fee it receives....
