The ruling on looking at these things varies depending on their nature. What is free from prohibitions, such as music, is permissible to look at. However, what contains elements that contradict the creed, or promotes corruption, or displays 'awrah (private parts), or any other Sharia prohibitions, is not permissible to look at.
