Next I am looking at music regulations and how it is regulated for the audience.Unlike films and video games, which are regulated by BBFC and PEGI, the music industry (in the UK) is mostly self-regulated meaning either the artists themselves or the record labels/companies regulating the videos.
However, BBFC does help regulate some online music videos in partnership with YouTube and Vevo by age rate all music videos by artists signed to Sony Music UK, Universal Music UK and Warner Music UK that are unsuitable for younger children (under 12s). Record Companies submit any music videos the the BBFC that they would expect to receive atleast a 12 rating. The BBFC then rate the videos based on factors such as language, sex refernces, behaviour and sexual scenes/nudity. These videos are then posted to Vevo and/or Youtube.
The UK Copyright Collective is in order to make sure copyright law between artists is upheld. Some companies may have an agreement
Ofcom
Ofcom, short for Office in Communications and UK copyright collecting agency is a body which regulates the copyrighted music and makes sure that the artists get royalties for the use.
