Task

In
music video it is very easy to represent a community, gender or race in a bad
light or to easily offend. Representation of gender easily becomes an ethical
problem in some videos were a female could look to be degraded or seen in a
wrong way due the nature of some music videos that include nudity and ect.
Religeous Beliefs also become a topic to avoid in music video due to the way
you can so easily offend different communities of people, such as with Lady
Gaga’s music video to Judas as well as many Marilyn Manson videos. Ethical
issue regarding the public opinion can also result in these videos not being
aired though there is no legal reason for it not to, such as the banning of
Christina Aguilera’s music video for Beautiful.
Other
Legal issues with Music video can be copyright issues as well as The Obscene
Publications act 1959 seen, as there is a rise in the use of sexual content in
modern music video. Though it isn’t often legal action isn’t taken in these
cases censorship is used extensively if aired on television or on online
accounts where the music can be used where the owner of the account is under
the age of 18.
Possible
Legal Situation in Music Video Industry:
A
lawyer is arguing with an artist due to copyright infringement with the content
of the music video and how it needs to be censored for general viewing, the
artist is against this.
A
possible Ethical Situation in the Music video industry:
A
music video contains religious themes showed in an unflattering light and there
has been an influx of complaints from those who find the content offensive and
the public is calling for some action to be taken. The artist calls it creative
freedom, an argument ensues.
