No Extremes
The album cover from the new Rammstein record “Liebe ist Fur Alle Da”, which was proclaimed provocative and even dangerous was temporarily released from these accusations, so it may be sold out without any restrictions. As the Billboard said, this decision was made by the administrative court of Cologne, Germany. However, this rule may have the relative power and can be changed at any time by the Supreme administrative court of Munster. The cover of “Liebe ist Fur Alle Da” was applied to the strict censorship in the Fall of 2009 by the German authorities for it’s harsh theme, possible propaganda of sadism and sexual extremism. They’ve forbidden any public appearance of it in order not to disturb people; in this sense they may be right, but the real supporters of Rammstein argue that it’s only art, and it cannot be extremist anyway. Thus, previously the album had to be sold in the totally closed envelopes, and only people who had reached eighteen years old could buy it. Currently, the Cologne court believes that songs, which are presented on the album don’t propagate violence, so youth or folks with the unstable psyche will not get damaged by it. Well, this decision may be overturned later because a lot of critics are still believing in the extreme sides of “Liebe ist Fur Alle Da” cover.
