A radio station that crank-called Cuban President Fidel Castro and broadcast the recording should be fined $4,000, the Federal Communications Commission said.

[... The FCC] rejected the station's claim that a rule requiring people to be notified before their voices are used does not apply to people in Cuba.

If anyone has volunteered to pay the fine on the station's behalf, the story doesn't mention it.

I don't think this should be a criminal offense; it should be a tort. The station should be required to pay compensation to Castro -- as soon as he reimburses every American whose property he stole when he took power.
