This document summarizes Ofcom's rules for regulating content in music videos, particularly regarding depictions of sexuality, nudity, offensive language, and violence. Key points include: protecting under-18s by restricting sexual/offensive content to post-watershed hours; ensuring depictions are not gratuitous and are editorially justified by context; and preventing glamorization of harmful behaviors like violence that may encourage imitation. Specific types of content like sexual dancing, fetish clothing, and intrusive nudity shots require greater restriction before watershed hours to avoid an overall sexualized theme.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent non-governmental organization that has been classifying films in the United Kingdom since 1912. The BBFC classifies films, videos, DVDs, and video games to determine the appropriate age rating based on the content. It has the power to require cuts or ban media entirely if it violates laws around obscenity, child protection, or could influence the public in a negative way. The BBFC's ratings and restrictions have had a significant impact on the film industry in the UK by banning many controversial or violent films over the years.
The BBFC classifies films in the UK based on their age ratings. Films featuring drug use, violence, or other mature content receive higher age ratings to indicate that younger audiences may find the content unsuitable or disturbing. The BBFC was established in 1912 and uses universal symbols to easily communicate a film's rating. OFCOM regulates television broadcasting in the UK to ensure programming is suitable for audiences of all ages and complies with their codes of conduct. One measure is the watershed at 9pm, after which more adult content can air but must not be broadcast before when children may be watching.
The BBFC classifies films in the UK based on their age ratings. Films featuring violence, nudity or other mature content receive higher age ratings like 18, while family friendly films are rated U. The BBFC was established in 1912 and uses universal symbols to easily convey a film's rating. OFCOM regulates television broadcasting in the UK and ensures programs adhere to its codes on harmful or offensive content, like restricting violence before the watershed. The watershed at 9pm aims to separate more adult content from programming for children.

Ofcom has statutory duties to ensure under-18s are protected and generally accepted standards are enforced for music videos. Key rules require appropriate scheduling of videos, justification of potentially offensive material by context, and limiting explicit sexual or violent images before watershed. Music videos cannot contain gratuitous depictions of violence, dangerous behavior easily imitable by children, or explicit sexual behavior but some sexualized images may be allowed with context. Lyrics focusing clearly on sex also require careful consideration before watershed.

Regulation of media content is overseen by independent regulatory bodies who can issue fines or warnings. Music videos online are rarely regulated now, though some argue certain videos should have age ratings due to inappropriate content for children. However, regulating content may not be effective as children can easily lie about their age online and view restricted content anyway. It is also difficult for regulators to control all content posted online by individuals. The BBFC regulates movies and music videos but struggles to control user-generated content online. An example is the original "Blurred Lines" music video which was edited due to BBFC regulations.
This document discusses the regulation of music videos. It states that OFCOM regulates content on TV in the UK and can receive complaints about videos. YouTube can choose whether a video is appropriate to be uploaded on their site. MTV can also choose not to air videos they feel are too risque. The document suggests that future regulation may involve age ratings for videos online and on TV, but that this may not stop all inappropriate viewing by minors. It provides examples of specific music videos that have been banned or restricted, such as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Rihanna's "S&M", for explicit sexual content.
To legally use copyrighted music in the UK, you must first become a member of MCPS-PRS by applying for membership. Once a member, you can then apply for a DVD1 license which allows use of any music in that category as long as the artist is notified a week in advance. Royalty rates for music licensing through MCPS-PRS vary depending on the category and whether it is based on the published dealer price or retail price. While MCPS-PRS licensing is comparatively affordable, alternatives include composing original music or obtaining direct permission from artists through organizations like Copyleft.
Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK that regulates TV, radio, video on demand, fixed line telecoms, mobiles, and postal services. It operates with a bias against intervention but is willing to intervene firmly and promptly when required. Ofcom strives to ensure its interventions are evidence-based, proportionate, consistent, accountable and transparent. It constantly researches markets to remain at the forefront of technological understanding.
Acknowledgement of music video censorship laws within the ukfillipnev
The document discusses UK censorship laws for music videos regarding depictions of drug use. It acknowledges that showing a character hallucinating after drinking and taking drugs would violate these laws. It outlines rules from media regulator OFCOM prohibiting glamorized depictions of illegal drugs, especially those that could be easily imitated by children. While the video depicts drug use, it claims this was only to drive the narrative and not promote drug use. It concludes that the video could air after 9PM during the watershed period without violating laws, and that music channels would be at fault, not the creators, if they aired it at other times.

Music video and content classification (1)JACMedia
Ofcom regulates broadcasting in the UK, including what content can be shown on TV, radio, and the internet. They set watersheds, like no explicit content before 9pm. MTV regulates its own videos but must follow Ofcom rules. David Cameron announced a pilot scheme in 2014 to apply age ratings to UK music videos shown on platforms like YouTube and Vevo. The British Board of Film Classification oversees rating videos, but only those made in the UK - foreign videos won't be rated. The aim is to inform consumers of appropriate content online.

The BBFC regulates music video content in the UK by assigning age ratings of 12, 15, or 18 based on factors like drug use, dangerous behavior, sexual content, violence, and language. They partner with YouTube and Vevo to apply these ratings to music videos online. The goal is to help parents control what their children are exposed to. An example given is Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" video from 1984, which was controversial for its sexual imagery and banned by the BBC and MTV at the time, though the banning backfired by increasing its popularity.
The document discusses regulations of music videos in the UK by the BBFC. It examines several case studies of music videos that caused controversy, such as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" which was banned from some universities for promoting an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent. Other discussed videos include M.I.A's "Born Free" which depicted graphic violence, and Eminem's "Just Lose It" which portrayed Michael Jackson inappropriately. Overall, the document finds that as music videos have become more popular and explicit, regulation has been needed to restrict content like graphic violence, sexual imagery, and offensive material that could affect viewers.
The document discusses the regulation of music videos in the UK. It explains that Ofcom regulates communications, including television, radio, video on demand, and music videos. Ofcom ensures young people under 18 are protected from explicit content like profanity, sexual content, drug/alcohol abuse, suicide, and violence. Music videos shown on TV must consider their content and be appropriate for under-18 audiences. Regulations aim to prevent the exploitation of audiences, especially young viewers, from inappropriate or offensive material.

The BBFC also partners with YouTube and Vevo to age rate videos from major record labels to improve child protection online.
The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) examines media content such as films and television programs to rate them based on their suitability for different age groups. They consider violence, language, drugs and other issues that could affect the audience. The BBFC aims to protect young and vulnerable viewers from unsuitable content. All rated media receive a certificate and consumer advice about what content the rating refers to.
Music videos are regulated by different organizations depending on how they are distributed. YouTube decides if a video is suitable to be uploaded to an artist's official channel, though it can still be uploaded by others. OFCOM regulates what is broadcast on TV in the UK according to the 2003 Communications Act. MTV chooses which videos to air on its channels and tries to avoid those that may prompt complaints. As technology changes, regulations may become stricter for some content online and on TV, though enforcing restrictions online is difficult when children can access the internet through other means.

Music videos are regulated to protect children from inappropriate influences on behaviors and attitudes.
Ofcom is the communications regulator in the UK that regulates various sectors including TV, radio, telecoms and more. The document discusses Ofcom regulations around protecting the under-eighteens, harm and offence, crime and disorder, and others. It provides examples of when Ofcom intervened with TV shows for violating guidelines, such as a violent BBC scene and a debate on another channel that encouraged violence. The document emphasizes the need to follow regulations like airing violent content only after watershed, providing warnings, and avoiding material that encourages crime or disorder.
Ofcom is the regulatory authority for broadcasting, telecommunications, and postal industries in the UK. It promotes competition and protects citizens from harmful content. Ofcom regulates what the public can see on TV and radio by licensing media companies and setting codes. It aims to ensure that music videos are only aired at times when people under 18 are protected. When deciding restrictions on music videos, Ofcom considers factors like sexual images, provocative clothing, violent lyrics, dancing, and behavior, or depictions of illegal activities. The document discusses that rap music videos commonly feature gangster personas, illegal activities, sexualized women, and bad language in lyrics that emphasize masculinity.
Ofcom has statutory duties to ensure under-18s are protected and generally accepted standards are enforced for music videos.

Music videos have faced censorship over the years due to offensive content. In the 1980s, videos by Queen, Duran Duran, and others were banned for depicting sexuality. The 1990s saw bans of Michael Jackson and Madonna videos. New directors in the 1990s elevated music videos to an art form. The rise of the internet and sites like YouTube made music videos widely accessible online, helping artists promote their music.
This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding comments made by BBC radio presenter DJ Alex Dyke regarding breastfeeding. Dyke stated on air that breastfeeding in public was "unnatural" and "has to be stopped", which led to hundreds of complaints being filed. His comments broke the broadcasting codes on offensive language and sexual material. Radio producers must consider issues like religion, crime, and offensive language to avoid ethical problems. While views on public breastfeeding have changed over time, it remains a sensitive topic, and Dyke's approach offended many listeners.
This document discusses controversy and censorship in music videos from the 1980s to present. It provides examples of music videos that were banned or censored due to depictions of sexuality, drug use, violence and other controversial topics.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount.

2. Basic Rules:
However, while music videos must have room for innovation and
creativity, Ofcom has statutory duties with regard to all
programmes, including music videos (whatever the genre), to:
Ensure that under-eighteens are protected.
Enforce generally accepted standards so as to provide adequate
protection for members of the public from the inclusion of
offensive and/or harmful material.
Appropriate scheduling and context – Keeping the videos shown
on music channels not aimed at children and at certain times.
3. Rule 1.3:
Rule 1.3 requires broadcasters to ensure that children are protected
by appropriate scheduling from material that is unsuitable for them;
taking into account as relevant:
the nature of the content;
the likely number and age range of children in the audience,
taking into account school time, weekends and holidays;
the start time and finish time of the programme;
the nature of the channel or station and the particular
programme;
the likely expectations of the audience for a particular channel or
station at particular time and on a particular day.
4. Rule 2.3:
Ofcom will also consider potential issues under SectionTwo of the
Code.The principle behind SectionTwo is not to protect children but
to provide “adequate protection for members of the public” from
harmful and/or offensive content.
Rule 2.3 requires broadcasters to ensure that potentially offensive
material is justified by context. In particular we will have regard to
the relevant contextual factors such as:
the time of broadcast;
the likely size and composition of the potential audience;
the service on which the material was broadcast;
the likely audience expectation.
5. Sexual Images:
Ofcom’s 2011 research found that regarding music videos, of all
the parents surveyed, 6% expressed some concerns about sexually
explicit content, 6% also expressed concerns about overtly sexual
performances, 5% about nakedness /naked body parts, and 4%
about generally unsuitable content of a sexual nature.
Ofcom understands that music videos will rarely contain sexually
explicit images. However the cumulative effect of certain images
or combination of images can result in material of a sexualised
nature in music videos which is unsuitable for child viewers and
could cause offence. Intrusive and/or prolonged shots of body
parts are likely to increase the overall sexual impact.
6. RulesUsed:
The most relevant Code rules here are: Rule 1.3 (appropriate
scheduling); 1.20 (representations of sexual intercourse); and 1.21
(nudity).The Code does not prohibit the broadcast of sexualised
images, such as the portrayal of sexual behaviour or images of
partially clothed men and women. However, any images of this
nature broadcast before the watershed in music videos must be
editorially justified and appropriately limited.
7. Examples:
Ofcom’s previous decisions on these issues include:
50 Cent, Greatest HitsTV: Ofcom received two complaints about a
quarter hour segment on this channel broadcast immediately after
09:00 devoted to music videos by the rap singer 50 Cent.These
complaints alerted Ofcom to the issues of offensive language and
images of topless female performers included in music videos
broadcast at this time. “The result of an error during the
reinstallation of the main video library following the replacement
of our servers”.
Duran Durans, Sky Arts 1:The complainant alerted Ofcom to the
issue of the broadcaster transmitting on a Saturday morning at
09:45 excerpts from a music video which included various shots of
topless women and of nudity, which the complainant considered
“provocative, sexualised…and unacceptable for transmission
before the watershed”.
8. Watershed:
Before the watershed broadcasters should take care to avoid any
explicit images of sexual bondage, dominance and sadomasochism
in music videos, or any inappropriate cumulative effect resulting
from the repetition of these types of images that are unsuitable for
children and likely to cause concern to parents.
Ofcom’s previous decisions on these issues include:
Rihanna “S&M”Ofcom received a complaint that the music video
was “completely unsuitable for daytime” broadcast.TVTwo stated
that “the song of the music video in question has currently sold
more than 12 million copies worldwide and recently remained in
top position for 2 weeks in the UKTop 40 Chart”.
9. Clothing:
Ofcom’s approach to the clothing featured in music videos will
have regard in particular to how sexualised the clothing is and how
the images are presented. For example, Ofcom has been asked
whether a music video can contain images of singers and dancers
in their underwear or bikinis.Ofcom does not prohibit the
broadcast of such images, although we would take into account
whether this clothing was presented in a sexualised way.
For example, there is an obvious difference of context between
images of a female singer shown in underwear while getting
dressed or wearing a bikini on a beach, and the singer wearing
similarly skimpy clothing while dancing provocatively or adopting
a sexual position.
10. Watershed:
Ofcom has also been asked in the past if a music video shown
before the watershed can contain images of singers and/or
dancers wearing clothing of a sexual fetish, bondage or
sadomasochistic nature.The Code does not prohibit the broadcast
of images of this type of clothing and Ofcom recognises that fetish
outfits can be and are presently used in music videos.
However, great care should be taken as to how these images are
presented before the watershed. Broadcasters should consider
whether this kind of clothing, combined with sexual behaviour,
results in a strong fetish or sexualised theme that may be
understood by children or cause concern to parents, for example
Rihanna’s S&M video.
It is important to note that in pre-watershed content, Ofcom
would not expect to see singers and dancers wearing clothing that
does not adequately cover their bodies (in particular their breasts,
genital area and buttocks). As above, broadcasters should
consider the length of shots used and the overriding theme of the
music video.
11. Lyrics:
The Code contains clear rules about offensive language broadcast
before the watershed (Rules 1.14 to 1.16), and in complying
material of this nature we suggest broadcasters refer to Ofcom’s
2010 research ‘Audience attitudes towards offensive language on
television and radio’
Before the watershed broadcasters should avoid broadcasting
lyrics in music videos that clearly focus on sex or convey a clearly
sexualised theme.While Ofcom recognises that music videos in
particular genres, such as Urban and R&B, are well known for
including mild sexual innuendo, broadcasters should take into
account the potential offence caused by the combination of
particular lyrics and sexualised images. Lyrics may not appear to
be of a highly sexualised nature when broadcast in audio alone,
such as on the radio.
12. RuleUsed:
Rule 1.3 is also relevant to sexual lyrics broadcast in music videos,
and such material must be appropriately scheduled.

Protecting the Under-Eighteens:Observing the watershed on
television and music videos broadcasting these with sexualised
images the combination may result in the video conveying a
highly sexualised theme.
13. 2011 Lyrics:
For information, by the end of 2011, Ofcom intends to publish
guidance for radio broadcasters on offensive language in music
tracks, and it has published a number of recent decisions in this
area:
does not contain an explicit sexual reference,
is ambiguous in its meaning,
is unlikely to be understood by children as specifically referring to
sex.
However, when combined with clear, sexualised images (for
example, women in sexual positions) the strength of the material
is raised in terms of its potential to cause offence and concern to
parents.
14. Dancing
Images of provocative or sexualised dancing should be appropriately
limited before the watershed.With regards to editorial justification,
Ofcom will take into account factors such as a tradition or culture
associated with particular dancing. However in these circumstances
the editorial justification should be sufficient to account for the
images shown.
As reflected in Ofcom’s Flo Rida decision Broadcasters are reminded
that intrusive and/or prolonged shots of body parts are likely to
increase the overall sexual impact of a music video, R&B music videos
in particular are known for including mild sexual content and
innuendo.
However in that particular case the increasing effect of the repeated
close-up images of the female dancers’ buttocks, together with
provocative dancing and actions in the video, resulted in the video’s
imagery conveying a highly sexualised theme.These images were
mainly shown while the dancers were wearing bikinis on the beach,
rather than traditional carnival dress.This increased the sexualised
nature of the imagery and undermined the editorial justification
presented by the relevant broadcasters in support of the inclusion of
these images (i.e. thong bikinis and Carnival attire are synonymous
with BrazilianCarnival).
15. Violence and
Dangerous
Behaviour:
As in all programmes broadcast before the watershed, any
violence included in music videos pre-watershed should be
appropriately limited and justified by the context.Therefore, any
violent images included in videos should be carefully presented so
that they are not explicit, gratuitous or easily imitable.
Sections One andTwo of the Code set out clear rules relating to
violence, dangerous behaviour and suicide (Rules 1.11 to 1.1310
and Rules 2.4 and 2.511)
16. Rules used:
Rule 2.4: requires that content must not:
condone or otherwise glamorise violent, dangerous or seriously
antisocial behaviour
be likely to encourage others to copy such behaviour.This might
include violence involving guns, gangs or against women.
Rule 1.13 states:
Dangerous behaviour, or the portrayal of dangerous behaviour,
that is likely to be easily imitable by children in a manner that is
harmful must not be broadcast before the watershed…Unless
there is editorial justification.
Therefore great care should be taken to limit images of dangerous
behaviour so that information or details are not presented which
could lead to imitation by children.
17. Protecting
Under
Eighteens:
Protecting the Under-Eighteens:
Observing the watershed on television and music videos Ofcom
has previously received queries about whether music videos can
contain images of suicide, such as a gun to the head or someone
hanging themselves.
Ofcom does not prohibit such themes and images from being
broadcast in programming before the watershed. In order to
comply with the Code however in the context of a brief music
video they would have to be very carefully limited and presented.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/831190/secti
on1.pdf (Page 4) This hyperlink shows the rules for protecting
under eighteens in reference to violent content.
18. The End…
Those are all the Ofcom rules and codes relating to music videos
and their content. So we now know what Ofcom does and doesn’t
prohibit; including rules about before and after the watershed.
