Tapes, CDs, Video Cassettes of performances Policy Performers should be granted a permit to sell their own original cassettes, CDs, and videotapes of their Performances 4.12.1. The sale of tapes, CDs and video cassettes of a Performer's work helps to empower and educate the Performer in the ways of business. It also provides an additional revenue stream encouraging better Performers to work on the street. 4.12.2. The complex process of creating and manufacturing a recorded original work also stimulates other local businesses, providing them with an outlet for their services and products. This increases these businesses exposure in the Performer marketplace. 4.12.3. Some use an argument which says if you allow one type of sale you must allow another, but it is clear that a city may designate what types of products may be sold where. For example, the Promenade carts must all contain different, pre-approved products. 4.12.4. Performance and Performers should be encouraged by allowing them to sell their original cassettes, CDs and videotapes from their performance location. There are words and music contained in the recordings which express political, social and religious ideas and philosophies and would indicate there may also be First Amendment grounds for the distribution of these items. 4.12.5. Other cities (Burlington VT, Seattle WA, Cambridge MA, New York City, etc.) allow for the sale of these items by Street Performers.   NEXT
