It is well known that in Colombia some of the regulations concerning consumer protection have been a little been excessive as they are transferring the parents duties to properly rise their children to the companies and the government.

For example, if a parent considers that a certain food is not good for their children, they can simply not buy it. However, what they have done is undertaking a campaign to force producers to label the products that are not good for children. Which does not replace the parental guidance but increases the costs of the production of the goods.

Now they are taking this approach to a whole new level, that would make it impossible to produce or reproduce any music video, series or movie in Colombia, closing the door to one of the most lucrative industries in Colombia and in the world, the entertainment industry.
