	Video Recordings Act 1984 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acts of Parliament of the Kingdom of Scotland
		Acts of Parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland
		The act was a legislative reaction to a moral panic concerning "video nasties" that was sparked by tabloid newspapers in Britain during 1982 and 1983.

	Video nasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Video nasty was a term coined in the United Kingdom in the 1980s that originally applied to a number of films distributed on video that were held by some to be unfit for domestic viewing.
		The furore created by the moral crusade against video nasties led to the introduction of the Video Recordings Act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorship on videos than was required for cinema release.
		The Video Retailers Association were alarmed by the apparently random seizures and asked the DPP to provide a guideline for the industry so that stockists could be made aware of what was liable to be confiscated and what they could legitimately keep on their shelves.

	European Comm., Wingrove v. The United Kingdom
		Having seen for itself the content of the video work, the Court is satisfied that the applicant could reasonably have foreseen with appropriate legal advice that the film, particularly those scenes involving the crucified figure of Christ, could fall within the scope of the offence of blasphemy.
		The applicant contested the Government's assertion that his video work was refused a certificate for distribution in order to "protect the right of citizens not to be offended in their religious feelings".
		The Government contended that the applicant's video work was clearly a provocative and indecent portrayal of an object of religious veneration, that its distribution would have been sufficiently public and widespread to cause offence and that it amounted to an attack on the religious beliefs of Christians which was insulting and offensive.

		The furore created by the moral crusade against video nasties led to the introduction of the Video Recordings Act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorhip on videos than was required for cinema release.
		After the judge in the trial of James Bulger's killers cited the 'video nasty' Child's Play 3 as a possible incitement to the murder, newspapers and TV rang with anxiety about the influence of video violence.
		Prior to the establishment of state censorship implemented in the Video Recordings Act of 1984, censorship was in the realms of the courts and the Obscene Publications Act.

	screenonline: 1984 Video Recordings Act
		The key aim of the VRA was to ensure that all video recordings available in the UK were approved by a recognised authority.
		Videos were classified separately from theatrical releases, as different criteria came into play, such as the increased possibility of a video falling into the hands of children.
		However, this exemption was only granted if the video in question did not contain images of human sexual activity, urinary or excretory functions, extreme violence and torture, or the depiction of techniques likely to be useful in committing crimes.

		From time to time record companies receive complaints from members of the public offended by the sexually explicit or violent nature of the content on or connected with some recordings.
		The sticker is to alert the public, retailers and parents to recordings that may contain sexually explicit or violent lyrics and, in the case of new audio-visual formats such as DVD-audio, potentially offensive content.
		The decision is made by the record company and the artist and it's a question of striking a balance between artistic freedom and moral responsibility.

		The video manufac-turers claimed that the binding provisions of the Film Support Act put them at a disadvantage compared to television broadcasters, who supported the FFA on a purely voluntary basis.
		The settlement was reached after the video industry withdrew the complaints it had lodged with the Consti-tutional and Administrative Courts.

	The Video Nasties - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-01)
		W-a-a-a-y back in the early 1980's when affordable video recorders became commercially available in the UK, a small group of enterprising distribution companies opened up intending to cash-in on the video boom by releasing pre-recorded films onto tape.
		But there was one major problem, in those days there was still a sizeable chunk of cash to be made in re-releasing films at the cinema, and so the larger studios were initially reluctant to release their mainstream blockbusters onto tape.
		This "Purge" by the DPP went on until the Government finally introduced the "Video recordings Act" in 1984, which outlawed the trade in unclassified tapes and required that all video films be submitted to the "British Board of Film Classifications" for vetting prior to release.

		The BBFC may decline to grant a classification in which case the video becomes an illegal video and cannot be legally supplied to the public.

		Retailers are recommended to view the VSC staff training video 'A Training Guide to the Video Recordings Act' which is available to VSC members free of charge and to use this video in their staff training programmes.
		In order to achieve its basic objectives the Act introduced some fairly complex provisions which have been amended and extended on three occasions since 1984 by the Criminal Justice Act 1988, the Video Recordings Act 1993 and the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

		The video games industry in the United Kingdom is widely and rightly seen as one of our many economic success stories.
		The current trend in video games is for players to be the bad guys and act out criminal fantasies, earning points for attacking and killing innocent bystanders.

		Alton's concern was that the Video Recordings Act 1984 was inadequate and that young children were gaining access to videos more suited to older age groups.
		Video recording, video copying and video production are now domestic activities posing special problems for policing.
		However if video violence were capable of exciting the excesses attributed to it, then it is quite puzzling that no clear cases have emerged.

	Guardian \| Whatever happened to the 'video nasties' row?
		Some order was restored in the Video Recordings Act 1984, which saw the renamed British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) take responsibility for the certification of both cinema and video releases.
		A year later, however, a study by a professor of developmental psychology at Nottingham University said psychologists had been naive in their failure to predict the extent of damaging material's influence on children.
		A report from the Department of Culture, investigating the effects of violent video games, is expected later this year.

		The possession for supply or the supply of unclassified video recordings is an offence attracting a maximum penalty of £20,000.
		Enforcement of the Video Recordings Act suffers the same difficulty in that it is impossible to monitor the supply of inappropriate videos to children without using children to make test purchases.
		Checks can be made to see that videos are correctly labelled with the BBFC classification and there have been four prosecutions since 1988 involving the possession for supply of unclassified videos or the supply of unclassified videos to adults.

		It is easier for children in Bath and North East Somerset to buy adult videos than cigarettes - that's the shock find of a series of investigations by BandNES Council trading standards officers with the help of a 14-year-old volunteer.
		Out of 15 attempts to buy an 18 certificate video from High Street locations, the young volunteer was successful 11 times.
		Videos were given an 18-certificate under the Video Recordings Act 1984 to warn and protect viewers from scenes of violence, adult material and bad language, which they often feature.

		That Act states that it is a criminal offence to distribute moving images on disc or magnetic tape, which has not been classified under the Act.
		There are exceptions to the Act, where the clip is concerned with education or training, sport, religion, music or if it is a computer game.
		The game manufacturer distributor was convicted of an offence under the Act because the video clip was deemed not to be part of the game and therefore was not able to take advantage of the video game exemption.

	HIGH - YIELD HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS Rejected by the BBFC
		Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, the cultivation of cannabis plants is illegal in the UK (without a license or other authority from the Secretary of State for research purposes), as is the ownership, use and supply of cannabis.
		It is our conclusion therefore that this video work is in conflict with the Board's published Guidelines and the requirements of the Video Recordings Act.
		In line with its specific duties under the Video Recordings Act, the Board is required to treat material of this kind very carefully indeed and the Board therefore finds this to be unacceptable for a classification certificate to be issued to it.
