Answers to my questions(6)


12  Are there any groups that support/ against music censorship?
 There is a NGO that advocates for the rights of musicians all around the world. Recently they advocated that  3 March every year should be MUSIC FREEDOM DAY since 2013. Here is their official site  http://www.freemuse.org/sw305.asp
 And the most famous organisation that support music censorship is PMRC, which I mentioned many times before.
 However I was surprised that I can't find the official site of PMRC. It seems that they don't have a site. so here is their information from wiki

13 Are there any different between music censorship in1970s,1980s,1990s and now? Is is becoming more and more serious?
 In 1970s the real music censorship haven't started yet, so there wasn't a standard about which music should be censored and which shouldn't.
 In 1980s when the PMRC was found, the music censorship became more serious , at that time, PMRC mainly against heavy metal music because according to some parents some teenagers try to kill themselves after listening to the heavy metal music ( like  Ozzy's case and Judas Priest's case )
 In 1980s when Hip HOP and Rap rise, they became the main object of PMRC.
