iTrip illegal in the UK

I have been using iTrip with my new iPod and found this little creature easy to use and extremely useful. In fact, I seldom use the headphone. Most of the time, I use iTrip to play music with my home HiFi and car stereo, using the plugged-in iTrip to transmit the music as radio signal.

But according to the UK telecom regulators, tuning an iTrip into a radio channel in the UK is illegal under laws to stop pirate radio stations. The maximum penalty is a large fine and up to two years in jail. Are inmates allowed to ipod/itrip when they are serving time?
