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.
We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

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.

I hated those broadcasts. Canned applause and lip-synced choreography. I wanted real sweat and broken guitar strings.

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!
