It makes good sense for victims and their families to have an option on banning footage/photos/tapes of genuine rapes and murders from being published. However, the material should not be banned just because it looks like it might be of a rape or of a murder.
There was a time when I would have agreed with the Govt. because I am so sick of coming across things that glorify treating women like objects. However, it became apparent to me later that your typical R&B video is much more likely to foster hostile attitudes towards women than BDSM porn, by objectifying women as much as (if not more than) much porn that I've seen, to a much wider, non-age-restricted audience. If they're going to ban anything, it should be misogynistic R&B vids.
