[quote]German police are considering creating software that would allow them to identify right-wing music being played online or in public.
"The new software would let police quickly identify neo-Nazi rock music, which officials regard as a 'gateway drug' into the far-right youth scene," Der Spiegel reports. "The regional police office in the eastern state of Saxony has developed a prototype system of registering audio fingerprints from neo-Nazi rock."[/quote]
[quote]This is the law in Germany. And the Shazamming of the identification of these songs doesn't really change the dynamics of its enforcement.
But it's the next step that might be troubling, especially here in the U.S., where the population's attitudes towards free speech are different. Let me explain.
Perhaps you've heard of ShotSpotter? It's a system that police have deployed in Oakland and many other places that provides "gunfire awareness" to police. Basically, a series of microphones listen for loud noises and use algorithms to provide police with all kinds of information. For example, ShotSpotter says it can determine all this about a given gunfire event:
• 11 rounds were fired,
• from a car going 19 miles an hour, northbound,
• in front of 123 Main Street,
• 28 feet from the front door,
• at 01:47:28 am,
• from what appears to be a single, semi-automatic weapon.
Functionally, it also means that police departments have microphones installed all over cities. And they don't only have to listen for gunshots.[/quote]

So what is it going to define as "right wing" music? 90s Norwegian black metal? Or actual national socialist black metal?

It's like Christian Rock except with Ayn Rand instead of Jesus.
Sounds like a fine 'ol solution.

Their techno/trance is still acceptable, right?

This is disturbingly authoritarian.

I'm pretty damn sure something similar already exists, except it's called[I] "country music"[/I]

Kids just love that Sunday school classic: "Greed's a virtue, this I know/ Cause Atlas Shrugged tells me so."

Can we take a second to appreciate how cool this is? I didn't know such a thing existed.

Main argument against Fascism is that it's anti-democratic because a major part of Fascist ideology is to censor media and ban other political parties for a 'united' nation.
Solution? Ban a genre of music, an entire ideology and multiple political parties.
MAXIMUM GENIUS ACHIEVED!

Most of these constitute hate speech, which is banned anyway.
Nazi propaganda also has been banned for ages, but that doesn't mean they just go around and prosecute people left and right.
For example, there's currently [I]again[/I] a process to outlaw the party NPD. They are racist and xenophobic as fuck and everyone knows it, but they may or may not meet the requirements for being dissolved. It's failed multiple times in the past.
Some of the videos posted here also don't play in Germany, it's likely that YouTube would get it a lot of trouble if they didn't block them.
b-but Aryan Art is the best blackgaze band around

I don't really want to insult Germany but that is just pathetic.

just imagine what the world governments and the NSA/MI5/etc. have that no one talks about because it's under wraps and confidental.
a few months ago america unveiled this UAV camera drone's ability to [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QGxNyaXfJsA"]take a picture of a entire 2-3 miles and you can zoom in to see birds.[/URL] they couldn't show the actual camera because it's confidential. Technology is amazing.
does germany know how painfully ironic they're being right now
Ya'll are dumb. Burzum isn't NSBM. Varg expresses his contempt for neo-nazis quite often
NSBM and what this stuff would probably target would be shit like this

I know Burzum isn't NSBM and Varg hates Nazis. But I'm sure this system would probably consider Burzum to be Nazi music.

That's true and I know, but media often label him as neo-nazi.

I still don't understand why American Christians don't listen to hardcore Greek and Romanian Orthodox chants.
