Indecency Regulation Of The Fcc And Censorship Law In Republic Korea: Comparison And Contrasts, Min-Soo "Minee" Roh

Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers

Regulating music on radio or television is not a straightforward process, as the music is comprised of lyrics of words.

If any individual elements or combined elements is obscene or indecent, the government attempts to regulate broadcasting both music and performance.

There is considerable variation, both across countries and …
