Article discussing it better than I could:
"The "RAVE" Act makes it easier for the federal government to prosecute innocent business owners for the drug offenses of their customers - even if they take steps to stop such activity. This is a threat to free speech and musical expression while placing at risk any hotel/motel owner, concert promoter, event organizer, nightclub owner or arena/stadium owner for the drug violations of third parties - real or alleged - regardless of whether or not the promoter and/or property owner made a good-faith effort to keep their event drug-free. It applies not only to electronic music parties, but any type of public gathering: theatrical productions, rock concerts, DJ nights at your local club or tavern, and political rallies. Moreover, it gives heightened powers and discretion to prosecutors who may use it to target events they personally don’t like, such as Hip-Hop events and gay and lesbian fundraisers."
Wikipedia articleI find this disgusting. I don't want to vote for Obama. RAGE. Argh.
Lets say at those Anime conventions where I got to throw dances. We'd have three layers of security, but people can make their own wrong decisions. Just by knowing that even with three layers of security, I couldn't stop somebody from making a bad decision if they really wanted to, I could get in trouble.
