I think that maybe some people are concerned that if they are being left alone to have music sessions, to query and ask questions about the pel could bring the weight of the law down on their heads, when at the moment they are being left alone. Does that make sense? I know that thought occurred to me.
Well yes it certainly makes sense and is in part the reason why folk (even those involved in similar events) generally have just watch while others have fallen victim. Even in some cases then critising the people suffing from this unecessary enforcement for 'making a fuss' and threatening their events.
As a result the action against the current legislation has not been as united (and as a result, not as effective) as it could and should have been.
The situation is now somewhat different as the new reform is even worse news and will affect all sessions, folk clubs and music making in general.
