Subject: BS: Has the DHS outlawed live music? From: Songwronger Date: 11 Aug 13 - 05:56 PM http://iamnotanonymousblog.com/category/music-vs-dept-homeland-security/ Link to a blog run by a man in Indiana. He says he's having trouble with the Department of Homeland Security. Has anyone else run into this? From his July 20 entry: The Department of Homeland Security (An agency enacted through the Patriot Act) is now demanding through enforcement from The State Fire Marshalls that ALL LIVE MUSIC PLAYED IN THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE A PERMIT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. This is an outrage to freedom and the ideals of The American people and our quickly evaporating rights. This is just the start to the reality of what The Department of Homeland Security is going to do to the American citizens. The DHS is actually saying it is illegal to play music or operate a business where music is played for any reason without paying The Department of Homeland Security, and giving them much personal and private information. If The DHS can regulate the performance of a song where do you think they will stop? The fact is they won't! |

Subject: RE: BS: Has the DHS outlawed live music? From: Jeri Date: 11 Aug 13 - 06:13 PM Typical of what one expects from you, it's wrong. Postwronger. It's old, too. From January of this year. I wish this could be the end of this particular piece of bullshit, but I'm guessing others may find it a worthy topic. In true hyperbolic Internet fashion, what started with a minor local dispute about business permits and fire codes was quickly blown into the false claim that all live music played anywhere in the U.S. now requires a permit from the DHS. Neither the Indiana nor the federal DHS has declared that "it is illegal to play music freely in the United States," nor is the issue about live music per se — it's a local legal wrangle over a requirement that entertainment-providing business establishments obtain proper state operating permits. |
