We get "Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics" stickers on CDs sometimes, but that's pretty much it for the music you buy. Occasionally, a record will be deemed too-evil-to-play-on-radio-one (e.g. Frankie Goes to Hollywood), but more recently, radio versions of songs are just heavily edited (Eminem's Stan, that "Fuck you, I don't want you back" song, "Lick my ass, lick my back, lick my pussy and my crack" by Khia), but you can normally find somewhere to hear them in their entirity. With the internet so readily available nowadays, country-by-country censorship is becoming pointless.
