I agree the law is probably due for updating somewhat, but the reasons are pretty clear and IMHO warranted. There's an awful lot of stuff that uses the FM spectrum in this country. Up until a few years ago the Police were still using the 88-108mHz range, so it's not really surprising we have a law prohibiting any transmission devices that use that same space is it?
AFAIK Ofcom are looking at having a pan EU standard for these type of devices to ensure you're not interfering with other broadcasters at all, even if it is only to the car next door.
