NEW! The Ecstasy Awareness Act would throw anyone in jail who “profits
monetarily from a rave or similar electronic dance event knowing or having reason to
know” that some people will use drugs. It could become law soon without your help.
NEW! The CLEAN-UP Act makes it a federal crime – punishable by up to nine years
in prison - to promote "any rave, dance, music, or other entertainment event, that
takes place under circumstances where the promoter knows or reasonably ought to
know that a controlled substance will be used or distributed." It could become law
soon without your help.
These proposed laws make criminals out of every concert promoter, nightclub owner,
and stadium or arena owner. The government is making unreasonable demands—
they can’ t even keep drugs out of their own prisons, yet they want to punish
business owners that can’ t keep drugs out of their events. Every musical style could
be affected by these laws, including rock, Hip-Hop, country, and electronic music.
Four Things You Can Do

3. Spread the word by distributing flyers at your events, sending action alerts to
your e-mail lists, and putting our banner ad on your website. (See “What You
Can Do” at www.protectlivemusic.org.)

bills. You can donate money at: http://www.protectlivemusic.org/donate/
