Seitdem ab November 2004 die neuen Einreisebestimmungen nach USA eingeführt worden sind, weigern sich inzwischen immer mehr Künstler nach USA zu fliegen.
Neben Fingerabdruck muss man jetzt schon private Daten, wie Bankverbindung, meine Handynummer, meine Familienmitglieder etc. angeben, was uns nur noch zu gläsernen Menschen macht.
Bei DJs und Künstlern die nach USA gebucht werden, wird kein Unterschied gemacht!
Wenn die USA sich dadurch alle internationalen Künstler vergraulen will, haben sie durch diesen Schritt den besten Anfang gesetzt.
Ich selbst werde auch die Bookings für New Orleans u. USA nicht mehr annehmen und schliesse mich da Laurent Garnier an, der es schön vorgemacht hat:

US TOUR CANCELLATION
I am very sorry to have to cancel my forthcoming tour in the United States. I have decided to cancel further to what I consider to be completely unreasonable demands from the US Embassy in France in order to renew my working visa.
In order to obtain this new visa, the rules have once again changed since November 2004 and I would now have to not only fill in an exceedingly probing application form, but also be interviewed by a member of the Embassy staff, and provide proof of ownership of my house, details of my bank account, my mobile phone records, personal information on all my family members and more. I consider these demands to be a complete violation of my privacy and my civil liberties and I refuse to comply.
I am horrified by these new regulations and feel really sad that this is what some call freedom and democracy.
It has now become almost impossible for an artist to come and perform in the United States. And until this new legislation changes I will unfortunately refuse to comply with this nonsense.
Thank you for your understanding.
