The ordinance that the government was trying to push through was called the anti-rave ordinance. It was very vague in wording, but was being translated by the police as any event that had more than 50 people and a DJ. If it was 50 people and a rock band, the ordinance didn't apply, it was only if there was a DJ... which obviously upset everyone in the Industry.
I've heard that the UK has a similarly ridiculous law called the Repetitive Beats law, banning music gatherings that have repetitive beats... is this true? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 May 2005 14:44 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: (313) Chicago SummerDance Schedule >The US has been fighting the rave and electronic music industry movements for years this point needs expanding on! what do you mean? interested to know. _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
