Music-Ba(h)n.

Authorities in Germany have made arrests and confiscated music CD's in a crackdown on "far-right" music involving raids on hundreds of apartments across the country. In Germany there are laws against hate-mongering, an offshoot of the country's Nazi past. Being an American, the thought of raids to find music CD's is chilling. Should people be allowed to produce music that's offensive? Suppose the music is more that just offensive, and encourages violence? Conflicting rights.
