The acetate republic claim no leadership and the only criteria for membership is that its members 'use' music as opposed to 'abusing' it. The republicans have also caused a stir by adopting a controversial 'copyleft' law -juxtaposing the infamous 'copryright'-, allowing other artists to use original material in live performance without gaining permission.Radical Romance Mystery Solved
