Sexual harassment is a common theme on this blog. But, a recent case has had me thinking about the real extent of hostile environment sexual harassment. In the case, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that playing music containing sexually derogatory and violent content in the workplace can generate a hostile environment, violating Title VII.

If you work in a music-oriented business (or even if you don’t- heck, MOST businesses or their employees play music at least sometimes!), this might be of interest to you.
