left the time as a small, regional event behind, have tens of thousands of visitors and only expensive top acts fill their stage. Or they are one of that top acts, have worked hard for the high fee over the years and live from their own music. Then there are the other others. They let pissed- off security staff annoy their own visitors or throw them out for "inappropriate dancing". Or the very special others who sell their souls after a few weeks of quota-making on a private broadcaster, no longer recognize themselves afterwards and, luckily, mostly disappear into insignificance after a few weeks of media presence. These others can afford paid photographers and they should do that. After all, not only they want to make a living, but also our full-time colleagues. It goes without saying that we also reject events and bands that speak out against a cosmopolitan, colorful society. Racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism and other stupid clutter from the Stone Age have no place with us. For once we are intolerant of this. That doesn't make us left wing, we‘re just people who reject right-wing ideologies. We reserve the right to pack up our stuff in such a case and delete all pictures taken up to this point in time.
