Trouble called hard on NOTV, a small-time Turkish music channel when they aired Armin's "Love You More" video in Turkey. The video is of adult nature and showcases erotic scenes put in between the video. The Turkish government that looks after the Radio & Television laws accused NOTV for too early broadcast of the video during prime time. The Turkish government showed concerns for damaging images being susceptible to children. In Turkey, the videos of adult nature are allowed to be aired between 23:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Ali Karacan, a stockholder sees the EUR 2,00,000 fine as government's way of exploiting unpopular radio and television channels and making their survival a difficult matter. According to Karacan, NOTV is not a big channel in Turkey and comparably less powerful than the bigger Turkish TV channels, hence it was easily targeted by the government.
