Reason for Music Festivals (not in Bangkok)

I thought this article was interesting about the legal action the gov. in Bangkok is taking against women who danced topless during a celebration. Even though it is also illegal in the U.S., it made me think about why we have music festivals here. It is a chance for people to dance however they want (naked, fully clothed, in costume, etc.) and not have anyone say anything about it. Every music festival I've been to, the dancing has been so free and not judged by any member of the crowd. I can't imagine how the gov. in Bangkok would feel about it after reading this.
