Chicago's Promoters' Ordinance Kills Independent Music: 07 of 07

Chicago's Promoters' Ordinance Kills Independent Music: Part 07 of 07

A documentary by JaGoFF.

"... will pretty much drop a bomb on Chicago's independent music community, if not nuke it entirely."
- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times

"... it doesn't meet any public need and is very ill-suited to Chicago's independent music community - as written, it is unconstitutional."
- Henry H. Perritt, Jr., Professor of Law, Chicago-Kent College of Law

"I cannot imagine a major metropolitan city, a world class city with the stature of Chicago having an ordinance like this on the books. It's frankly embarrassing ..."
Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

"... a threat to the creative communities throughout the country and sets a very dangerous precident - as one city goes, so goes another. Rinse and repeat."
- John E. Showbiz, TheRecordIndustry.com

"this really has a chilling effect..."
Shawn Campbell, CHIRP [Chicago Independent Radio Project]

"The ordinance will reduce the amount of music in Chicago, make events more expensive for consumers, dampen the large and growing economic engine that is Chicago music, and create a much less supportive business climate for Chicago's small music business community."
- The Chicago Music Commission
