Regulations and Censorship is a very important part in the music industry. Nowadays you see a lot of albums with the parental advisory mark on. This is to stop younger people listen to a bad language but other than that mark there isn't a lot of censorship.
If a kid wants to listen to music then its easy for them to go on YouTube and watch a music video with violence or bad language. Some music videos do have an age rating on them where you need to log in to prove you are 18 but this is easy to get around.
But there are occasions where the label record wont accept the music an artist creates and therefor fires them or tries to never release the song to the public. A good example of this is Body Counts "Cop Killer". Ice-T sang the song "Cop Killer" which talked about him killing a cop as this was the time to get payback for all the police brutality against black people. Due to the nature of the song it was never publicly realest but it has been sung at live concerts and can be fount on YouTube.

SR: UPDATE: Changing Digipak
After having changed our track and the idea for our performance and narrative, we have new pictures for the digipack. We also had to find two new band members due to one drop-out and timing. Right now we are working on what pictures should be on our digipak but also, which other elements are usually included on a digipak.
For the front cover, we were thinking of having a picture of the entire band rather than just having the leadsinger and including the name of the band. This is not the finalized version of the front cover, since we still want to work with color correction of the picture to make the color's stand out even further.
Another possibility for the front cover would be to take a picture in the green screen room with just the leadsinger in the shot, with his microphone and then layer on top of it and add the title of the band and/or the album. This would be inspired by BMTH album for Suicide Season.
Another important elemt of a digipack is the track listing. BMTH That's the Spirit album has 11 tracks, therefore we thought we would include these on the back cover.
To achieve verisimilitude on our digipak it is also important to include other features such as the record label, produced by, copyright details, barcode and serial number. On most digipaks, the barcode is on the back cover, hence we have decided to put it down in the corner on the right side.

Inside the digipak, we wanted to include some more colors such as BMTH did on their That's the Spirit album inside. We thought that we could do it by having colorful ink in water that looks a bit like colorpowder. Since color powder is also a part of our music video, we thought that we would want to include that.
When doing some research on digipaks, I found a website, where it is possible to create and design your own digipack with fonts, pictures etc. Once we have all of our ideas sorted and photoshopped, I wanted to try and create one with the use of this website. If it turns out really well, I intend to order it.
