More on Motion Picture Association of America
Description from Wikipedia:
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), originally the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), is a non-profit business and trade association based in the United States, which was formed to advance the business interests of movie studios.
The current Chairman and CEO of the MPAA is Dan Glickman. MPAA members include the "big six" major Hollywood studios, which are:
#The Walt Disney Company
#Sony Pictures
#Paramount Pictures Viacom—(DreamWorks owners since February 2006)
#20th Century Fox (News Corporation)
#Universal Studios (NBC Universal)
#Warner Bros. (Time Warner)
The MPAA administers the voluntary film rating system. MGM was an MPAA member until 2005, shortly after Sony Pictures Entertainment's failed attempt to buy that studio; it ended in a partly Sony-funded acquisition. Lions Gate also joined the film rating system, but was not in the big six. Neither is The Weinstein Company.
As part of its campaign to stop copyright infringement the MPAA is legally battling against the BitTorrent technology, the peer-to-peer file-sharing communications protocol invented by Bram Cohen. The MPAA's anti-piracy campaign has gained much publicity.
