Homeland Security limits music imports!

Great - first they deny visas to foreign musicians, now this!

FOR  IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  Contact: Office of the Press Secretary

US Record Stores to Phase Out �Foreign Music� Under Homeland Music Plan

  Washington, D.C. -- April 1, 2005 -- Six of the  largest US music 
store chains have signed on with a government-sponsored project to 
emphasize �terrorism-free music.� Announced at a joint press conference this 
morning with Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, the 
Homeland-Overseas Music Enterprise (HOME), spearheaded by the department of 
Homeland Security, is billed as an attempt to stem the tide of foreign music 
entering the United States. The six stores are:
        �       Best Buy
        �       Hastings Entertainment
        �       Tower Records
        �       Trans World Entertainment (FYE, Strawberries & Coconuts stores)
        �       Virgin Entertainment Group
        �       Wherehouse Music

The Homeland-Overseas Music Enterprise leaves implementation details up to the 
individual retailers, but provides general guidelines, including doing away 
with �world music� or �foreign music� sections, limiting purchases of music 
from overseas distributors without a US partner company, and eliminating 
purchases of all music from nations on the US State Departments list of 
countries supporting terrorism.

Chertoff explained that HOME was an essential tool in the effort to 
mobilize Americans against the threat of terrorism. �As the President reminds 
all of us, it is his most important job, and the most important job of the 
federal government: protect the American people and our way of life from 
terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security has uncovered evidence that 
financing and recruiting wings of some terrorist organizations are turning to 
the music industry, which has until today been outside the scope of the 
Department. HOME will help eliminate music from the most potentially dangerous 
sources, and will ensure that the music Americans enjoy is not harming the 
national interests of the country they love.�

In addition to a change in the labeling of sections at their favorite record 
stores, consumers can expect to see stickers on individual CDs trumpeting the 
stores� participation in the project. While samples of these stickers were not 
provided to the press, they are expected to convey the message, Chertoff said, 
that �the music in your hands supports America, not terrorists.�
