It seems unnecessary to impose this requirement, when the lyrics would eventually be public anyway.

It’s also counterproductive, as it opens the government up to many more avenues of legal attack than simply warning him that publishing violent lyrics may cause an adjustment in his supervised release terms.

I’d love to see the legal justification for applying this prior restraint. Seems like classic overreach, although I doubt the government will see real consequences beyond having their conditions dialed back to where they should have been anyway.
