Sampling Documentary I've always seen the levels of protection granted by copyright as so ludicrously over broad that they hinder progress much more than they guarantee a creator an income but I'm still a little surprised it was so serious in the 70's.......
interestingly documentary anyway ,

Calling all ravers! Hi,
I'm looking for some lovely ravers to help me by filling out a questionnaire about raving. It's part of a research project I'm doing for college about the religious and spiritual dimensions of rave culture. Unfortunately, due to the sad passing of a friend I've had to put the research on hold and now have only a week to complete it. If any of you can spare ten minutes or so to answer the questions below I would be so so so grateful :) I'm a raver myself so please do not feel you will be judged in any way for your answers. If you would like to answer anonymously, feel free to email me your answers rather than post them on here. My email address is georginacrawshaw@live.co.uk
Thanks for your support guys and gals :) :) :)
Here are the questions...
1. What attracted you to the rave scene in the first place and what led you to continue attending raves?
2. Describe how you feel when you are at a rave.
3. What does the word ‘connectedness’ mean to you? Is it something that relates to your experience at raves? If so, how?
4. What is your opinion about spirituality at raves? Are they spiritual? Why/Why not?
5. Have you ever had a specific spiritual or religious experience at a rave? If so, please describe that experience. Please give details of when and where it happened and any drugs that had been consumed (if any). Your answer will be completely anonymous.
6. Do you follow a particular religion? If so, what religion do you follow?
7. Rave is commonly characterised by the acronym PLUR, which stands for peace, love, unity and respect. What do these words mean to you and in what ways do they direct your behaviour?
8. Do you feel your personality or perspective has changed as a result of your experiences at raves? If so, in what way has it changed?
Thank you so much for your help :)

Substance-Related Health Problems during Rave Parties in the Netherlands (1997–2008) Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe a 12-year (1997–2008) observation of substance-related incidents occurring at rave parties in the Netherlands, including length of visits to first-aid stations, substances used, and severity of the incidents. During rave parties, specifically trained medical and paramedical personnel staffed first aid stations.
Visitors were diagnosed and treated, and their data were recorded using standardized methods. During the 12-year period with 249 rave parties involving about 3,800,000 visitors, 27,897 people visited a first aid station, of whom 10,100 reported having a substance-related problem. The mean age of these people was 22.3+/−5.4 years; 52.4% of them were male. Most (66.7%) substance-related problems were associated with ecstasy or alcohol use or both.
Among 10,100 substance-related cases, 515 required professional medical care, and 16 of these cases were life threatening. People with a substance-related problem stayed 20 min at the first aid station, which was significantly longer than the 5 min that those without a substance-related health problem stayed. These unique data from the Netherlands identify a variety of acute health problems related to the use of alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, and GHB. Although most problems were minor, people using GHB more often required professional medical care those using the other substances. We recommended adherence to harm and risk reduction policy, and the use of first aid stations with specially trained staff for both minor and serious incidents.
Introduction
In the early 1990s, a new music culture called dance spread through numerous countries in the western world. Rave parties or house parties with DJ-directed, fast-paced electronic music and light shows were organized [1],[2]. In The Netherlands, rave parties attract from 500 to 60,000 visitors. Approximately 650,000 youngsters (15–35 year olds) [3] attend these events yearly. Several studies have indicated that the use of recreational substances during raves is common, and the majority of visitors use one or more substances [1],[4]–[13].
In the Netherlands, rave parties are allowed only if strict regulations are met. One of these is that a first aid station is required to take care of rave party attendees with various health-related problems. Here we present an overview of substance-related visits to first aid stations at rave parties in the Netherlands between 1997 and 2008.
Substance Use in the Netherlands
In 1997, 2001, 2005, and 2009, surveys of substance use in the general population in the Netherlands were conducted. Each of the substances covered in the present study were included in these surveys. During this period, lifetime prevalence of cannabis use generally increased (from 19.1% in 1997 to 25.7% in 2009), as did ecstasy use (from 2.3% to 6.2%) and cocaine use (from 2.6% in 1997, 2.1% in 2001, 3.4% in 2005, to 5.2% in 2009). For the first time in 2009, lifetime prevalence of γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) use was determined to be 1.3%, and the lifetime prevalence of alcohol use was 84% [14]. In this study, we describe substance-related health problems that occurred during rave parties.
Methods
This was a prospective observational study of rave-party attendees who presented themselves for help at first aid stations at rave parties during the period 1997–2008. All persons seeking first aid were registered, but only those with substance-related problems were included in this study. Health-related incidents are described, together with length of medical care, severity of the incidents, predictability of symptoms, and short-term risks. Specifically, the following information was collected with regard to rave party attendees who sought help at first aid stations: (1) Length of stay, (2) substances used alone or in combination, and (3) nature of the substance-related problems.
In an unpublished 1996 prospective pilot study of rave-party attendees, those seeking first aid were divided into two groups. The first was a self-care group. These people visited a first-aid station with only minor health-related problems and were not included in the study. The second group visited the first aid station seeking help or advice. For this group, a standard questionnaire was developed to ask about their health-related problems [7]. Each person's age and sex and time of arrival at and departure from the first aid station were recorded. Additional questions asked about their substance use and referrals that had been made to a general practitioner, dentist, or hospital. Finally, based on the Emergency Severity Index [15],[16], each health-related incident was categorized as medical, traumatic, psychological, or miscellaneous, and each incident was designated as minor, moderate (defined as requiring professional medical care within six hours), or severe (defined as life-threatening and needing immediate professional medical care).
In the present observational study, data were collected prospectively and anonymously. According to Dutch regulations, neither medical nor ethical approval was needed to conduct the study. The study was not supported financially in any way. The data were obtained from files maintained by Educare, a nonprofit organization that provides first-aid assistance at large-scale events. The Educare Board of Directors consented to our using the data for scientific purposes.
Procedure
Upon entering the first aid station, the person was seen by a clerical officer, who determined whether medical assistance was necessary or self-care was sufficient. If aid was required, the person was referred to a member of the medical staff. This staff included qualified nurses, paramedics, and physicians, all of whom had received training in rave-related health risks, including the effects of psychoactive substances. They had also been trained to use the standardized questionnaire. An experienced co-worker was appointed to assist the staff in filling out the questionnaires, and this person coached all of the staff members in using the questionnaires. After the rave-party attendee had been discharged from the first aid station, the co-worker checked all of the data to verify their integrity.
The number of visitors to each rave party (i.e., the number of tickets sold) was obtained from the organizers of the event. Serious health-related incidents were defined as those rated as moderate or severe on the Emergency Severity Index [15]. Risk of a serious incident from each substance was defined as the number of serious incidents that occurred divided by the number of attendees who used that substance. Relative risk (RR) of a serious incident from each substance was defined as risk of a serious incident from that substance divided by risk of a serious incident for visitors seeking first aid who did not report using the substance. For each substance, the likelihood of visiting a first-aid station was calculated by dividing the number of users of that substance who sought first aid by the total number of visitor who sought first aid.
Statistics
Descriptive statistics were used to understand the demographic characteristics of the sample and the nature of their substance-related visits to first-aid stations. To evaluate the statistical significance of the results, Person's r and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for the parametric and nonparametric data, respectively. A p value of 2 are presented. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 17.0.
Results
From 1997 to 2008, 3,793,500 visitors attended 249 rave parties. Most (70%) of the raves occurred at night. Many (N = 27,897; 0.7% of all visitors) of the people visiting a first-aid station presented with complaints that needed some form of medical attention. The mean age of all people visiting first-aid stations was 22.3 years (SD = 5.4), but the age of the visitors increased significantly from 18.7 years in 1997 to 24.0 years in 2008 (r = .245, p
Journalistic Enquiry: Warehouse Parties Hi guys,
My name is Yelena Kensborn and I'm a journalist. I'm looking for people who could help me with a radio piece about illegal warehouse parties. You seem really involved in those kind of things.
Do you have a contact number I can call to speak about it a bit more?
Best,

Documentary: Can you help? I am a third year BA (hons) Media Production student studying at The University of Winchester and am undertaking my final year project in documentary film.
My project is based on examining free party culture and the ideology of anti-conservatism. The film will explore the social, economic and political situation of England in the early nineties and make a comparison with the present day.
I would like to examine areas such as; commercialisation of free party culture, the connection between drugs and electronic music, media representation of free parties and the relation between music genre and sub culture. Current news stories regarding ‘Scumoween’ have interested me in investigating how the recession and social media are fuelling a new generation of rave culture.
After researching this topic in depth I have become very interested in finding out more about free parties/festivals and how social networking, politics and the economy are influencing this generation of partygoers.
Having researched for the last few months, I believe it would be massively beneficial to seek advice from current participants in the field, and would like to ask if you would help me further my research and participate in the film.
If this request is not relevant to you would you be able to recommend someone who you think may be able to assist me?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Jasper Amy
