	Motion Picture Association of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), originally called the Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors Association, is a non-profit trade association based in the United States which was formed to advance the interests of movie studios.
		Kori Bernards is the MPAA's vice president of corporate communications and the lead spokesperson in the current battle with the BitTorrent technology invented by Bram Cohen.
		The MPAA replies that it is only attempting to limit losses from file sharing and other technology, although many valid arguments exist to make its moves highly controversial.

	Motion Picture Association of America
		To the public this is most clearly manifest in the MPAA's movie ratings; for the television business the MPAA grapples with thousands of proposed and actual, foreign and domestic governmental regulations.
		The MPAA was formed by major Hollywood companies in 1922 as the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors Association.
		Even with the name change to the Motion Picture Association of America, the main activity of the Association has been political, and the companies have always hired well-connected Washington insiders to represent their interests in the capital.

	Motion Picture Association of America - Cultural Commons
		The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and its international counterpart, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) serve as the voice and advocate of the American motion picture, home video and television industries, domestically through the MPAA and internationally through the MPA.
		Founded in 1922 as the trade association of the American film industry, the MPAA has broadened its mandate over the years to reflect the diversity of an expanding industry.
		The initial task assigned to the association was to stem the waves of criticism of American movies, then silent, while sometimes rambunctious and rowdy, and to restore a more favorable public image for the motion picture business.

	UCITA: Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) Letter 07.Dec.1998
		On behalf of our respective trade associations and member companies, we are writing to inform you of our continued opposition to proposed Article 2B because we strongly believe the latest draft fails to cure the serious infirmities that caused us to oppose previous drafts.
		Apart from the numerous substantive concerns that have been previously raised and are still not addressed, including the troublesome fact that the Reporter's Notes are often inconsistent with the text, we continue to have grave general concerns.

	Motion Picture Association of America lawsuits futile - Sci-Tech
		It might be time to reconsider this practice, now that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has begun filing a number of lawsuits against individuals who trade, distribute and/or download pirated copies of movies over the Internet.
		MPAA chief Dan Glickman estimates that movie piracy has cost the industry around $3.5 billion dollars a year.
		The former MPAA chief, Jack Valenti, had resisted pressure to file these types of lawsuits, but new management feels that this is a necessary step in recouping their losses and discouraging pirating practices.

	Motion Picture Association of America \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		That was the day the Motion Picture Association of America made official its ban on year-end ''screeners,'' the tens of thousands of DVDs and VHS tapes of movies sent to Oscar voters and other awards juries who can't -- or won't -- see the films in theaters.
		MPAA president Jack Valenti said that the ban's intent is to stem piracy, but smaller distributors who depend on screeners to expose their hard-to-find films to voters say the move will hurt their Oscar chances and favor the major studios.
		The MPAA By scrapping screeners, the MPAA is blaming piracy on (and taking a perk away from) awards voters -- the very people whose praise it seeks for its member studios and their movies.
