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

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.
