America's highly respected civil liberties organisation the ACLU published a formal guide to the RAVE Act this week, urging people to actively start defending electronic music against the US authorities' crackdown on nightlife.

"People must stand up for their rights and continue to hold raves and keep electronic music culture alive," the ACLU urged in the guide.

"Before you can stand for your rights, your must know your rights. If someone mentions the RAVE Act, be ready to explain that the DEA (drug enforcement administration) has stated it does not apply to legitimate business owners."

"The DEA must not be allowed to chill speech," they stressed.

"The DEA must not be allowed to shut down electronic music events."
