At least in EU, transmitting is illegal, having hardware to transmit is not.

That's why people can buy TX/RX SDRs and Yaesu transceivers without a license.

AFAIK the radioamateur world, serious violations of frequency plans are rare and are usually quickly handled by regulators. OTOH, everyone is slightly illegal, e.g. transmitting encrypted texts or overpowering their rigs, but that's part of the fun.

And in some locations, quickly handled by the local amateur community, with foxhunts and community outreach to frequency violators - only getting regulators involved when just talking to the offenders fails.
