In the UK, the BBFC, funded by the film industry, regulates films but the Government has also asked the BBFC to launch a pilot scheme to rate online music videos. At the moment online content does not come under the BBFC’s remit, and so anything sent to it for classification is done so voluntarily (which some labels do in some cases).
Currently at the planning stages, the pilot scheme is expected to launch later this year, with a view to gauging the level of support from the industry for a permanent voluntary rating system for online music videos. Although voluntary and purely for guidance rather than a legal requirement, , initially at least, Google has already said that it will use the ratings on its services if it takes off, and possibly implement parental controls based on them.

In America there is no main body for regulating Music Videos, however the MTV network (The biggest music channel in the US) does regulate what it shows, for instance: MTV refused to air the music video Bombs by Faithless due to its anti-war message. MTV has also heavily edited a number of music videos to remove references in lyrics to drugs, sex, nudity, violence, weapons, racism, homophobia, or advertising, and completely edits out the swearwords. MTV has come under intense scrutiny for it's extreme-censorship but currently, it appears to be the only sort of body that actually regulates the videos on the TV, but then again the artists can relrease their videos on YouTube (who have regulations of their own) as well as other channels (Who also have regulations).
