Is this'OU'?

in 1936 Berlin . lomg wave transmitter "Deutschlandfunk"
was tapped from people from an Garden landare that was direcly under the transmitter.
they have tapped with own antennas, the transiter and illuminate the gardens with some hudred
bulbs (lamps) 
afte some month this was "forbidden" , becaus the power comes from transmittr AND this part
"stolen" powe can not reach the world ?

It may have been "forbidden" for far more serious reasons ...

The EM spectrum is awash with random noise.  Noise can be tuned/filtered to specific frequencies.  If you tune around with a short wave receiever, you can hear all sorts of noise - many of them very powerful compared to radio stations.  If we are able to extract power from a radio station, we should be able to extract power from some of these other noise sources.  This is dangerously close to free-energy - power to the people.  Anything remotely like this would be "forbidden" for sure ...

I suppose that?s exactly what Trawoeger did to power his pyramide-fan setup. (That or a tricked voltmeter.)
Ill man; I?m sorry for him but he messed a whole forum. Hopefully you?ll reconsider your position about him being 'very serious?!

Cheers,

Question: will the transmitter be overloaded/depleted/exhausted
by the number of the receivers?
...

Yes.
The energy from the transmitter is radiated in free space. A part of this radiated energy is consumed by the receiver: the power is the voltage squared at the antenna divided  by the input resistance of the receiver.
The voltage is on order of tenth microvolts, so the power you can recover is around picowatts.
Millions of antennae can be erected, you'll get back only a small part of the transmitted energy.
The energy consumed by the receiver can't be sensed by the transmitter because from the transmitter pointview the energy is considered "consumed" as soon as it is radiated.
If the receiver antenna is very near the transmitter, one say you are in the "near field" (below 1 wavelength), and you can recover more than 90% of the transmitted energy. Not OU this way!
