Illegal songs

[Solyhniya]

There is no censorship or suppression of free speech in Solynia whatsoever.

[The Kangaroo Republic]

We don't ban songs. Sure, most people may shun a song and anyone who listens to it, like they do with most rap songs, but they're not banned.

[Dagnia]

This.

Censorship of media is unconstitutional.

This.

Freedom of expression is a crucial element to a free society, and that includes music.

This.

Nothing more needs to be said.

[SteevyT]

No songs are banned, but if enough people find something you are playing loudly is annoying, you might be fined for disturbing the peace.

[Namabia]

The Government of Namabia can only intercede if the songs are:

1. Racial
2. Violate child pornography laws
3. Attack an another nation, group, or religion
4. Cusses excessively(Only the State and Provincial governments have authority over this. The National Gov. does not.)


Otherwise the Namabian Congress, State & Provincial Assemblies, have no right over the media.

How can a song do number 2? It is an audio, not visual media...

Referencing to #2. If a song talks about a child being raped, stripped of clothes, or other profanities it is banned.

[Central Lothian]

The government has no authority to ban songs. Individual broadcasters can choose to ban songs either permanently (this has never happened) or when playing it would be deemed inappropriate.

[Ethel mermania]

Fearless leader has decreed the "barney theme song" illegal.

The punishment for singing it is DEATH.

The people's demands have been met.

[Chinese Regions]

Songs...Ilegal, it is censorhip

[Soviet Murmansk]

Our only music is Murmanskiy Communist songs.

[Zairoon]

No songs are banned, but extreme songs (e.g. Nazi songs) come with a warning, like a step up from the "parental advisory" stickers

[Roderikaros]

Only one song was once banned called 'The Alien Invasion' by MC Racca. Racca was put by jail later. His song was about immigrants, especially Asians. He called up to lynch them.

[Paxiani]

I believe that it is quite unconstitutional to ban media in Paxiani. I mean, what's the point? If we ban a song, people will probably go on to listen to it anyway. We can't put trackers on people or alarms in the citizens' homes. This is a democracy for crying out loud! At least I am! The dictatorships and absolute monarchies can go ahead and do this, but I think that illegitimate activities like barring media should be prohibited from democracies. Extreme media (excessive amounts of swearing, sexual references, etc.) in Paxiani will bear a 21 sticker, meaning only citizens 21 and older can buy it. What do you think?

[Rejistania]

There is no illegal music. Sure, there is bad music, there is disgusting music, there is music which radios refuse to play and record stores refuse to sell, there is music which makes your ken and sidin disown you, but there is no illegal music.

[Democratic Koyro]

any song that is not produced by the Ministry of Truth, People's Musical Entertainment Directorate or a Fellow Socialist Nation is considered illegal media, and is punished the same way as consuming or posessing any form of illegal non-authorized media.

[Makaar]

There are no banned songs in Makaar; the government lacks the power to ban any song.

[Cabickstan]

Friday, nuff said...

[Lackadaisical2]

There are no illegal songs in lackadaisical2.

[The Matriarchians]

Rebecca Black's Friday, Justin Bieber's Baby, as well as Communist, Socialist, and Nazi propaganda songs like The Internationale, the USSR Anthem, and the Horst Wessel Lied are all banned.

Horst Wessel Lied can't be as bad as Friday, right?

I mean, Friday... it... uh... is just the worst song ever.

[Verdisia]

The Internationale was outlawed by King Andrew II in 1903, as part of his infamous "Morality Edict." The only section of the Edict to still be in effect, the ban on the song has nevertheless never been used to prosecute anyone, and indeed the song is played, regardless of the ban, every year at the Communist Party's May Day march in Palatina.

[Polska rzczpolspolita]

While not banned, Pop music, Hip-Hop, and Rap are very unpopular and are considered fringe. Mostly as Pop and Hip-Hop are extremely foreign and there are almost no Polish hip-hop or pop artists, and most rap is german. However, the following songs are banned:
-Justin Bieber, moslty because it made the Sejm's ears bleed and for foreign influence.
-Ke$ha for explicit activities and references.
-Rebecca Black's Friday for foreign influence.

[The Godly Nations]

A message from Lord Protector General Susan:

I have decreed that, within the lands of the Godly Nations, all music, save that which is played in Church, shall be henceforth banned, and any person caught singing will be executed by the death of one thousand cuts.

[Omensa]

Music is like candy you have to throw away the Rappers

Pop is Banned

while metal, Classical, all Ideolegy and Ethnic songs are allowed

[Cadonica]

The government has no authority to ban media.

Plus, government don't/doesn't (OOC: not sure which is correct) care what people listen to.

[Snake South Amerika]

While there have never been a official gov't ban on any particular song, Snake South Amerikans tend to have a extremely demanding taste of music. Industrialized bubblegum teen-pop, flashy car & jewels hip-hop, downright sucky bands and -core crap tend to fail miserably in S.S.A.

[Oceanic Vakiadia]

All Rap
All Hip-hop
All Rock
All Pop
Horst Wessel Lied
