In January 1950, the NCFE obtained a transmitter base at Lampertheim, West Germany, and on July 4 of the same year RFE completed its first broadcast aimed at Czechoslovakia.[23] In late 1950, RFE began to assemble a full-fledged foreign broadcast staff, becoming more than a "mouthpiece for exiles".[24] Teams of journalists were hired for each language service, and an elaborate system of intelligence gathering provided up-to-date broadcast material. Most of this material came from a network of well-connected émigrés and interviews with travelers and defectors. RFE did not use paid agents inside the Iron Curtain and based its bureaus in regions popular with exiles.[25] RFE also extensively monitored Communist bloc publications and radio services, creating an impressive body of information that would later serve as a resource for organizations across the world.[26]

In 1971, the radio stations came under public spotlight once more when U.S. Senator Clifford Case introduced Senate Bill 18, which would have removed funding for RFE and RL from the CIA's budget, appropriated $30 million to pay for fiscal year 1972 activities, and required the State Department to temporarily oversee the radio stations.[73] This was only a temporary solution, however, as the State Department was reluctant to take on such a significant long-term responsibility.
The CIA stopped funding Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty in 1972.[73] In 1974, they came under the control of an organization called the Board for International Broadcasting (BIB). The BIB was designed to receive appropriations from Congress, give them to radio managements, and oversee the appropriation of funds.[77] In 1976, the two radio stations merged to form Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and added the three Baltic language services to their repertoire.
During the Mikhail Gorbachev era in the Soviet Union under Glasnost, RFE/RL benefited significantly from the Soviet Union's new openness. Gorbachev stopped the practice of jamming the broadcasts. In addition, dissident politicians and officials could be freely interviewed by RFE/RL for the first time without fearing persecution or imprisonment.[79] By 1990, Radio Liberty had become the most listened-to Western radio station broadcasting to the Soviet Union.[80]
RFE/RL says that its journalists and freelancers often risk their lives to broadcast information, and their safety has always been a major issue. Reporters have frequently been threatened and persecuted.[91] RFE/RL also faces a number of central security concerns, including cyberterrorist attacks[92] and general terrorist threats.[93] After the September 11 attacks, American and Czech authorities agreed to move RFE/RL's Prague headquarters away from the city center in order to make it less vulnerable to terrorist attack.[94] On February 19, 2009, RFE/RL began broadcasting from its new headquarters east of the city center.[95]

Up furrows still unpierced with earliest cropHe marched. Through woods he strolled from flower to flower,And over hills. As ointment drop by dropPreciously meted out, so hour by hourThe day slipped through his hands: and now the powerFailed in his feet from walking. He was done,Hungry and cold. That moment sank the sun.
And there it was sweet rapture to lie still,Eyes open on the dark. A flowing healthBathed him from head to foot and great goodwillRose springing in his heart and poured its wealthOutwards. Then came a hand as if by stealthOut of the dark and touched his hand: and afterThe beating silence budded into laughter:
Then came steps of dawn. And though they heardNo milking cry in the fields, and no cock crew,And out of empty air no twittering birdSounded from neighbouring hedges, yet they knew.Eastward the hollow blackness paled to blue,Then blue to white: and in the West the rare,Surviving stars blinked feebler in cold air.

I will now transform into my economist self and tell you how i think this might be solved: distributed patronage:Perhaps one way is that we will solve the public goods problem (having all ebooks be fully free and online without DRM) by using something along the lines of assurance contracts, the folks at Fundable.org seem to be attempting to lower the transaction costs for this kind of thing. There was a paper a while back by A. Tabarrok ( atabarro/PrivateProvision.pdf ) where he shows that theoretically we might even be able to beat the sort of multiple equilibria problems that naturally arise in this sort of scheme. 2ff7e9595c
