For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred.

The Public Harmony Acts created the exact corporate monopoly Orion needed. No touring costs, zero physical risk.
