MUSIC VIDEO REGULATION

by

Music video regulations were never considered strict as it has always been possible for people of all ages to watch any video they pleased, even if the video was not recommended for people of younger ages. Until recently, only videos considered to have 'extreme' visuals in them were forced to have regulations placed upon them. 
This year (2014) the BBFC have offered to put new regulations on music videos. 

'The threshold at which physically released music videos – primarily DVDs and Blu-rays – must receive an age classification from the BBFC is to be lowered. The organisation is also planning to launch a voluntary pilot for online music videos, in partnership with record label trade body the BPI'

 The government put forward a new version of the Video Recordings Act (that was originally put forward in 1984 and only applied to physical works) and now anything that fits the criteria for a twelve certificate or above will have to be classified by BBFC examiners.

Government has also asked the BBFC and the BPI to launch a pilot scheme to rate online music videos. At the moment online content does not come under the BBFC’s remit, and so anything sent to it for classification is done so voluntarily (which some labels do in some cases).
Originally, Ofcom was said to put regulations on music videos but they were not effective enough as people can still access all types and age rated music videos online as there is no restrictions online to stop them doing this.
