Hey everyone, I am doing a court case for my college and I am stuck on finding information about a law. I don't even know if this law even exists. Does anybody know if there is a law stating parental advisory stickers must be posted on Cd's that contain "explicit" lyrics so minors can not purchase them? If so, can you please tell me the name of the law?
Thank you.

Apparently the sticker is a self governing act put in place in 1985 by the Recording Industry Association of America, as a measure to stop an actually law from being passed.

I know there is a law, don't know where it comes from but I think it must have something to do with laws from the sensorship issues...

it doews exist.. i'm not sure what the name of it is.. but when rap started becoming 'big' mothers were protesting to have warnings put on because many parents themselves didn't know what contained 'bad' words and what didn't...

There is no law. It is censorship. I found this link. Hope it helps.
