New Copyright Laws


Today a law came into place about parody music videos so the artist is not discriminated against or made fun of. This will not affect us as our chosen song doen't currently have a video.


Another law about adding age restrictions to music videos was also announced, for UK labels. This will not affect our song choice or artist as she is with an American label, however it will affect our chosen genre. Pop videos have a very wide range of explicit-y. Some pop videos contain nudity to a certain extent, also swearing, sexual images and smoking/drinking could be a factor that would need to be considered in pop videos. This law means that video producers will be much more careful as if they had a higher age restriction it could reduce the number of views, especially for pop as a lot of pop views are under 15 or 18.
