<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">That's not really a like-for-like comparison. Broadcasting a song with the f word at 10am is not the same as letting an unlicensed driver take a minibus full of disabled kids at 90mph down a packed urban street - or did I miss something? The better comparison would be an insistence that all drivers have to have their licence with them when they go out on the road. It avoids an offence, but that's it.<div><br></div><div>It's strange how this debate seems to have been polarised into "abide by the rules" or "ignore the rules". I don't think I have said "ignore the rules". What I was trying to highlight (obviously not very effectively) was that systems of rules generally develop and evolve to the point where they favour those with the greatest capacity to implement them - and the fact that Ofcom want a special meeting about offensive language in songs raises some concerns for me that they might be wanting greater regulation.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone who has studied sociology may have come across the concept of 'expert systems' - systems that implicitly bar the non-experts from participating. The legal system is an obvious example, but in other fields a system of rules that is formed to control and regulate will tend to reflect the values and priorities of those who create the rules. In a consultational environment where 'stakeholders' get to have a say, it tends to be the largest organisations who have the capacity to make heavyweight submissions, challenge the rules they don't like, and push towards rules that preferably give them a competitive advantage. Food hygiene is an obvious case - the supermarkets will help devise rules to increase hygiene standards via pre-packaging, sterile environments etc because they know that while it will cost them a bit more, it will be an impossible level of compliance for smaller competitors to achieve - so a system that is set up to protect the public's health ends up forcing out smaller players and consolidating the market position of the largest players. Over time of course it levels out, smaller competitors re-emerge who can absorb the regulations etc - but the rules still create significant barriers to market entry. (and please don't take that to read that I am proposing that poisonous food be sold on the shelves!)</div><div><br></div><div>My concern with the offensive language debate (or similar situations) is that extensions (stress: extensions) to the rules / enforcement / expectations will tend, possibly through unintended consequences, to favour the larger players with the capacity to absorb the requirements. Some community stations may have the capacity / inclination / drive to digest that higher level of regulation and the BBC obviously have the people with the time to do the auditable risk analysis etc that gets them off the hook. But as a station that broadcasts to a small rural community (where it's inevitable that presenters know the listeners) we simply don't want to offend - it's not good for business! 99.x% of the time I am sure that we don't, but the reality of the situation is that sometimes we might, and if we do we apologise, we take counter-measures, and we move on. And because of where we are, that works. What I would hate to have is added layers of intervention and bureaucracy that would support (possibly lone or vindictive) complainants who have taken offence, that result in investigations and in the process take up huge amounts of our time, and ultimately curtail our ability to provide social gain and a service of value to our community. </div><div><br></div><div>And the reality check on the whole thing: my 6 year old son is probably exposed to language on his way to school that is infinitely worse than anything we (or others) broadcast. In a world where media is increasingly delivered by the unregulated internet, this could be about layers of rules that actually make no difference whatsoever to the world we live in!</div><div><br></div><div>Julian <ducks></div><div><br></div><div>* In some ways this debate is not the best use of my time either, but it concerns broad principles of regulation which I believe are important so its worth spending a bit of time thrashing them out</div><div><br><div><div><div>On 21 Sep 2011, at 19:02, Richard Berry wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div dir="ltr" lang="EN-GB" vlink="blue" link="blue" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PostalCode"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="Street"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceType"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceName"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="address"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; "><div>Nick,</div><div>I’m sorry but the rules ARE the same for all.

You may of course be of the view that the important part of what you do as a station is what the presenters say and where they come from – not the music they play – and so a locked-down schedule of music is not only useful but sometimes desirable.
