Editing Lip sync (section)

===Legal and ethical aspects===
In the Australian state of [[New South Wales]], the government is considering new laws that would require pop singers to print disclaimers on tickets "to alert fans if [the singers] intend on miming throughout their shows". Fair Trading Minister [[Virginia Judge]] stated that "Let's be clear – live means live." Minister Judge stated that "If you are spending up to $200 [on concert tickets], I think you deserve better than a film clip". She indicated that "The NSW Government would be happy to look at options, such as a disclaimer on a ticket which would warn consumers a performance is completely pre-recorded."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/11/06/2734748.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120730043653/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/11/06/2734748.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 30, 2012|title='Live means live': lip-sync laws loom|work=ABC News|access-date=July 9, 2015|date=2009-11-05}}</ref>

A writer on ethics calls lip syncing an "affront to all legitimate live performers who risk lyric mistakes and cracking voices to give an authentic performance". The author argues that lip syncing in live concerts will "...destroy our ability to enjoy great live performances the way we once could, thrilling to the certain knowledge that we are witnessing something extraordinary from a great talent". The author argues that this "...makes lip-syncing in public performances wrong. Not only is the audience being lied to; it is being made cynical".<ref>Lip-sync Ethics (8/17/2008) http://www.ethicsscoreboard.com/list/lipsync.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201220818/http://www.ethicsscoreboard.com/list/lipsync.html |date=2016-12-01 }}</ref>
