Entry One

What are the arguments against product placement in the UK and how is this different from product placement in British film?

I was intrested in product placement laws in the UK and wondered why it was banned as it is not in British films or in the USA. I also questioned why other types of advertising which is forced upon you like product placement is not illegal.
