History
JCRC was founded on December 1, 2010 as Ethics Organization of Video (映像倫理機構, Eizō Rinri Kikō) after the dissolution of both the Nihon Ethics of Video Association (NEVA) and the Content Soft Association (CSA).[1][2]
JCRC was interviewed by the organization Human Rights Now (HRN) about its policies.[2]
