So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/

I didn't think this was a plausible excuse since any company hosting a special event design from the beginning to bringing the most amount of attendees they could (how many does a theater hold?) would cancel the event at the last minute due to one person's death in the family. One would think the sales or PR team would be able to hold together a 13 to 20 minute presentation without one person. The show must go on, as they say.
I mean, unless it was a famous headliner, most people have a backup plan or are prepared to go on in case of a situation like this one.
