Breaking News On Music Videos!

Huge news in regards to new music videos! From Friday the 3rd of October 2014, British made music videos will get age-rated certificates similar to the ones given to movies by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) and will feature certificates with age ratings of 12, 15 and 18 as well as a preview of the type of content in the video and advice for the viewer. This is only a trial pilot concept at the moment but it is being widely accepted right now as a sensible addition to protect children from unsuitable content.

The scheme is already being voluntarily participated in by world renowned record labels such as Sony, Universal and Warner. the concept has also been endorsed by British Prime Minister, David Cameron who announced last August this idea to the public.
