MPAA In its formative years it took on the role of devising guidelines for film content which resulted in the creation of the Motion Picture Production Code|Production Code, and currently administers the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|MPAA film rating system

MPAA More recently, the MPAA has advocated for the Film|motion picture and television industry through lobbying to protect creative content from piracy and for the removal of trade barriers. The MPAA has long worked to curb copyright infringement, including recent attempts to limit the sharing of copyrighted works via peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. Former Democratic Senator Chris Dodd is the Chairman and CEO.

MPAA - Foundation and early history: 1922 to 1929
The Motion Picture Association of America was founded in 1922 as a trade association of movie companies and was originally named the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA). Former United States Postmaster General|Postmaster General Will H. Hays was named the association's first president. At its founding, the MPPDA represented approximately 70 to 80 percent of the films made in the United States.

The main focus of the MPPDA in its early years was on producing a strong public relations campaign to ensure that Hollywood remained financially stable and able to attract investment from Wall Street, while simultaneously ensuring that American films had a clean moral tone

From the early days of the association, Hays spoke out against public Censorship_in_the_United_States#Film_censorship|censorship, and the MPPDA worked to raise support from the general public for the film industry's efforts against such censorship

In 1924, Hays instituted The Formula, a loose set of guidelines for filmmakers, in an effort to have the movie industry self-regulate the issues that the censorship boards had been created to address. The Formula requested that studios send synopses of films being considered for production to Hays for review. This effort largely failed, however, as studios were under no obligation to send their scripts to Hays's office, nor to follow his recommendations.

In 1927, Hays oversaw the creation of a code of Don'ts and Be Carefuls for the industry

MPAA - The Production Code: 1930-1934
In 1930, the MPPDA introduced the Motion Picture Production Code|Production Code, sometimes called the Hays Code

MPAA - The Production Code: 1930-1934
In 1933 and 1934, the National Legion of Decency|Catholic Legion of Decency, along with a number of Protestant and women's groups, launched plans to boycott films that they deemed immoral

MPAA - The war years: In the years that immediately followed the adoption of the Code, Breen often sent films back to Hollywood for additional edits, and in some cases, simply refused to issue PCA approval for a film to be shown. At the same time, Hays promoted the industry's new focus on wholesome films and continued promoting American films abroad.

MPAA - The war years: For nearly three years, studios complied with the Code. By 1938, however, as the threat of war in Europe loomed, movie producers began to worry about the possibility of decreased profits abroad. This led to a decreased investment in following the strictures of the code, and occasional refusals to comply with PCA demands. That same year, responding to trends in European films in the run-up to the war, Hays spoke out against using movies as a vehicle for propaganda.

MPAA - The war years: In 1945, after 24 years as president, Hays stepped down from his position at the MPPDA, although he continued to act as an advisor for the Association for the next five years.

MPAA - The Johnston era: 1945-1963
In 1945, the MPPDA hired Eric Johnston, four-time president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, to replace Will Hays. During his first year as president, Johnston rebranded the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

He also created the Motion Picture Export Association (MPEA) to promote American films abroad by opposing production company monopolies in other countries. In 1947, the MPEA voted to discontinue film shipments to Britain after the British government imposed an import tax on American films. Johnston negotiated with the British government to end the tax in 1948, and film shipments resumed.

In 1956, Johnston oversaw the first revision of the Production Code since its implementation in This revision allowed the treatment of some subjects which had previously been forbidden, including abortion and the use of narcotics, so long as they were within the limits of good taste. At the same time, the revisions added a number of new restrictions to the code, including outlawing the depiction of blasphemy and mercy killings in films.

Johnston was well-liked by studio executives, and his political connections helped him function as an effective liaison between Hollywood and Washington. In 1963, while still serving as president of the MPAA, Johnston died of a stroke. For three years, the MPAA operated without a president while studio executives searched for a replacement.

MPAA - The Valenti era: 1966-2004
The MPAA hired Jack Valenti, former aide to President Lyndon Johnson, as president of the MPAA in 1966

In 1975, Valenti established the Film Security Office, an anti-piracy division at the MPAA, which sought to recover unauthorized recordings of films to prevent duplication

In 2001, Valenti established the Digital Strategy Department at the MPAA to specifically address issues surrounding digital film distribution and piracy.

MPAA - The modern era: 2004-present
Glickman stepped down as president of the MPAA in 2010.

MPAA - The modern era: 2004-present
In his role as president, Dodd has focused on anti-piracy efforts, trade, and improving Hollywood's image since becoming MPAA president

MPAA - Film rating system
The MPAA administers a motion picture rating system used in the United States to rate the suitability of films' themes and content for certain audiences. The system was first introduced in November 1968, and has gone through several changes since then. The ratings system is completely voluntary, and ratings have no legal standing. Instead, theater owners enforce the MPAA film ratings after they have been assigned, with many theaters refusing to exhibit non-rated films.

In 2007, the film This Film Is Not Yet Rated alleged that the MPAA gave preferential treatment to member studios during the process of assigning ratings, as well as criticizing the rating process for its lack of transparency. In response, the MPAA posted its ratings rules, policies, and procedures, as well as its appeals process, online.

The ratings currently used by the MPAA's voluntary system are:

MPAA - Members The original members of the MPAA were the “Big Eight” film studios, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Loews Cineplex Entertainment|Loews, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, United Artists, and RKO Pictures. Two years later, Loews merged with Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, and Louis B. Mayer|Louis B. Mayer Productions to form Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

MPAA - Members The next year, Filmways became a MPAA member, but was later replaced in 1986 along with Avco Embassy, when the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group and Orion Pictures joined the MPAA roster.

MPAA - Members As of 1995, the MPAA members were: the Walt Disney Studios; Paramount Pictures; Universal Studios; Warner Bros; 20th Century Fox; MGM—which included United Artists after their 1981 merger—and Sony Pictures Entertainment, which included Columbia and TriStar Pictures after their acquisition in Turner Entertainment joined the MPAA in 1995, but was purchased in 1996 by Time Warner.

MPAA - Members As of 2013, the MPAA member companies were: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures; Paramount Pictures Corporation; Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.; Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation; Universal City Studios LLC; and Warner Bros Entertainment Inc.

MPAA - Anti-File Sharing efforts
The MPAA and its British counterpart, the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), also funded the training of Lucky and Flo, a pair of Labrador Retrievers, to detect polycarbonates used in the manufacturing of DVDs.

MPAA - Online file sharing
In the early 2000s, the MPAA began to focus its anti-Copyright infringement|file sharing efforts on peer-to-peer file sharing, initially using a combination of educational campaigns and cease and desist letters to discourage such activity. In the first six months of 2002, the MPAA sent more than 18,000 such letters to internet service providers that hosted copyright-infringing content.

In late 2004, however, the MPAA changed course and filed lawsuits in a concerted effort to address copyright infringement on a number of large online file-sharing services, including BitTorrent and eDonkey network|eDonkey. The following year, the MPAA expanded its legal actions to include lawsuits against individuals who downloaded and distributed copyrighted material via peer-to-peer networks.

The MPAA also played a role in encouraging the Government of Sweden|Swedish government to conduct the Pirate Bay raid|a raid of the Pirate Bay file-sharing website in May Swedish officials have acknowledged that part of the motivation for the raid was the threat of sanctions from the World Trade Organization, along with a letter from the MPAA.

In 2013, the Center for Copyright Information unveiled the Copyright Alert System, a system established through an agreement between the MPAA, the Recording Industry Association of America, and five of the nation’s largest internet service providers

MPAA - Publicity campaigns
Also in 2004, the MPAA partnered with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore to release a trailer shown before films in theaters called You Wouldn't Steal a Car

MPAA - Publicity campaigns
In 2008, the MPAA revised the percentage of loss due to college students down to 15%, citing human error in the initial calculations of this figure

MPAA - Accusations of copyright infringements against the MPAA
When the MPAA was made aware of the violation, the software toolkit was removed from their website.

IsoHunt - Correspondence with the MPAA
Selected items of correspondence between Gary Fung and the MPAA have been posted on isoHunt.com.

IsoHunt - Shutdown as part of settlement with MPAA

Independent film - The exploitation boom and the MPAA rating system
Not all low-budget films existed as non-commercial art ventures

Like those of the avante-garde, the films of Roger Corman took advantage of the fact that unlike the studio system, independent films had never been bound by its self-imposed production code

This film was released just after the abandonment of the production code, but before the adoption of the MPAA rating system

With the production code abandoned and violent and disturbing films like Romero's gaining popularity, Hollywood opted to placate the uneasy filmgoing public with the MPAA ratings system, which would place restrictions on ticket sales to young people

However, having a film audience-classified is strictly voluntary for independents and there’s no legal impediment to releasing movies on an unrated basis

Bram Cohen - BitTorrent and the MPAA
By mid-2005, BitTorrent, Inc. was funded by venture capitalist David Chao from Doll Capital Management, and in late 2005 Cohen and Navin made a deal with the MPAA to remove links to illegal content on the official BitTorrent website. The deal was with the seven largest studios in America. The agreement means the site will comply with procedures outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Film trailer - MPAA Rating cards for theatrical trailers
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) mandates that theatrical trailers be no longer than two minutes and thirty seconds. Each major studio is given one exception to this rule per year. There are no time restrictions concerning Internet or home-video trailers. Rating cards appear at the head of trailers in the United States which indicate how closely the trailer adheres to the MPAA's standards.

In May 2013, the MPAA changed the trailer approval band from for 'appropriate audiences' to to 'accompany this feature' but only when accompanying a feature film; for bands not accompanying a feature film the text of the band remained the same

Trailers that do not adhere to these guidelines may be issued a red band, which indicates approval for only restricted or mature audiences. These trailers may only be shown before R-rated, NC-17-rated, unrated movies (only films that are released in theaters rated R and not in theaters rated PG-13). These trailers may include nudity, profanity or other material deemed inappropriate for children.

Bowling for Columbine - MPAA rating
Ebert had criticized the MPAA rating system on previous occasions

Wild at Heart (film) - MPAA Rating
The MPAA told Lynch that the version of Wild at Heart screened at Cannes would receive an X rating in North America unless cuts were made, as the NC-17 was not in effect in 1990, at the time of the film's release

Basic Instinct - MPAA rating
Basic Instinct is rated R for strong violence and sensuality, and for drug use and language. It was initially given an Motion Picture Association of America film rating system#MPAA film ratings|NC-17 rating by the Motion Picture Association of America|MPAA, but under pressure from TriStar, Verhoeven cut 35–40 seconds to gain an R rating. Verhoeven described the changes in a March 1992 article in The New York Times:

Actually, I didn't have to cut many things, but I replaced things from different angles, made it a little more elliptical, a bit less direct.

The film was subsequently re-released in its uncut format on video and later on DVD.

Bully (2011 film) - MPAA rating
Joan Graves of the MPAA said that though Bully is a wonderful film, the organization's primary responsibility is to provide information to parents about the films' content.

On March 26, 2012, The Weinstein Company announced that it would release Bully unrated, in protest of the MPAA's decision

In Canada (where each province sets their own rating), as of March 30, 2012, Bully has received only Canadian motion picture rating system|PG ratings (from six of ten provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec and Saskatchewan) with no age restrictions but warnings for coarse language.

In April, the Weinstein Company came to an agreement with the MPAA

Dan Glickman - MPAA work
In 2004, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced that Glickman would replace Jack Valenti as its chief lobbyist.[ Washington Post, '#39;Glickman Succeeds Valenti At MPAA'#39;]. Washington Post. Retrieved on September 23, Glickman served as Chairman and CEO of the MPAA,.[ Motion Picture Association of America]

In a MPAA press release, May 31, 2006, entitled Swedish Authorities Sink Pirate Bay, Dan Glickman states

MPAA film rating system
The MPAA rating system is one of various motion picture rating systems that are used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for children|appropriate for their children.

MPAA film rating system - Other labels
If a film has not been submitted for a rating or is an uncut version of a film that was submitted, the labels 'Not Rated' (NR) or 'Unrated' (UR) are often used. Uncut/extended versions of films that are labeled Unrated also contain warnings saying that the uncut version of the film contains content that differs from the theatrical release and may not be suitable for younger children or minors.

MPAA film rating system - Other labels
If a film has not yet been assigned a final rating, the label 'This Film Is Not Yet Rated' are used in trailers and television commercials.

MPAA film rating system - Replacement of Hays Code
On November 1, 1968, the voluntary MPAA film rating system took effect, with three organizations serving as its monitoring and guiding groups: the MPAA, the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO), and the International Film Importers Distributors of America (IFIDA).

The ratings used from 1968 to 1970 were:

* 'Rated G': General audiences – suggested for general audiences (all ages admitted)

* 'Rated M': Mature audiences – suggested for mature audiences (parental discretion advised)

* 'Rated R': Restricted – persons under 16 not admitted unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian.

* 'Rated X': Persons under 18 will not be admitted

The X rating was not an MPAA trademark and would not receive the MPAA seal; any producer not submitting a film for MPAA rating could self-apply the X rating (or any other symbol or description that was not an MPAA trademark)

With the introduction of the MPAA's rating system, the U.S. was a latecomer as far as film classification was concerned. Countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom had begun this practice earlier in the 20th century.

MPAA film rating system - From M to GP to PG
Many parents were confused by the M and R ratings, thinking that the former was the sterner rating. In 1970, M was renamed to GP (intended to indicate General audiences, Parental guidance suggested), it was then revised in 1972 to PG. In 1971, the MPAA added the content advisory Contains material not generally suitable for pre-teenagers; in 1978 it was reworded, with pre-teenagers being replaced with children.

In 1971, the ages for R and X were made the same (17), such that the only practical difference was whether children would be admitted if accompanied, or not at all.

* 'Rated R': Restricted – under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian

* 'Rated X': No one under 17 admitted

* 'Rated PG': Parental guidance suggested – some material may not be suitable for [pre-teenagers] (1972–1978) / [children] (1978–present)

MPAA film rating system - Addition of PG-13 rating
Around the same time, the MPAA won a trademark infringement lawsuit against the producers and distributors of I Spit on Your Grave over a fraudulent application of its R rating to the uncut version of the film,[ Entertainment Law Reporter – Business Affairs for March 1984] and forced its member studios and several other home video distributors to put MPAA ratings on the packaging of MPAA-rated films via a settlement that would come into effect by fall that year.

* 'Rated PG': Parental guidance strongly suggested – some material may not be suitable for children

* 'Rated PG-13': Parents strongly cautioned – some material may be inappropriate for children under 13

MPAA film rating system - X replaced by NC-17
Neither film was approved for an MPAA rating, thus limiting their commercial distribution, and prompting criticism of the rating system's lack of a designation for such films.

In September 1990, the MPAA introduced the rating NC-17 (No Children Under 17 Admitted)

* 'Rated NC-17': No children under 17 admitted (1990–1996) / No one 17 and under admitted (1996–present)

MPAA film rating system - Rating explanations
Since September 1990, the MPAA has included brief explanations of why each film received an R rating, allowing parents to know what type of content the film contained. For example, some films' explanations may read Strong Brutal Violence, Pervasive Language, Some Strong Sexual Content, and Drug Material. Around the late 1990s, the MPAA began applying rating explanations for PG, PG-13, and NC-17 films as well.

MPAA film rating system - Advertising materials
The MPAA also rates film trailers, print advertising, posters, and other media used to promote a film. Green, yellow, or red title cards displayed before the start of a trailer indicate the trailer's rating.

* 'Green' – When the trailer accompanies another rated feature, the wording on the green title card states The following preview has been approved to accompany this feature. For trailers hosted on the internet, the wording has been slightly altered to The following preview has been approved for appropriate audiences.

* 'Yellow': A yellow title card exists solely for trailers hosted on the internet, with the wording stipulating The following preview has been approved only for age-appropriate internet users. The MPAA defines age-appropriate internet users as visitors to sites either frequented mainly by grown-ups or accessible only between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. The yellow card is reserved for trailers previewing films rated PG-13 or stronger.

* 'Red': A red card indicates that the trailer is restricted and when it accompanies another feature, the wording states The following restricted preview has been approved to accompany this feature only

MPAA film rating system - Violence
* The violence in a G-rated film must be cartoonish in nature and/or minimal in quantity. If the violence is little more than minimal and/or has fantasy elements, it requires a PG rating. If the violence is stronger than mild, it requires a PG-13 rating. If the violence is too rough and/or persistent, it requires an R rating. If the violence is too extreme and/or exaggerated, it requires an NC-17 rating.

MPAA film rating system - Drug use
Critic Roger Ebert criticized the MPAA for the rating and called it a wild overreaction

* In May 2007, the MPAA announced that depictions of cigarette smoking would be considered in a film's rating.

The 2011 Nickelodeon Movies|Nickelodeon-animated film Rango (2011 film)|Rango caused some controversy over its PG rating among anti-smoking advocates. It was argued that the film showed over 60 depictions of characters smoking in the film, and that because of this, the child-friendly PG rating was inappropriate.

MPAA film rating system - Sexual content
As of 2010, the MPAA has added a descriptor of male nudity to films featuring said content. A brief scene of nudity (depicted in a non-sexual context) will require a PG rating. More than a brief incorporation of nudity (depicted non-sexually) will require a PG-13 rating. Sexually oriented (full frontal) nudity will require an R rating. An explicit or violent sex scene, including scenes of rape or sexual assault, will require an NC-17 rating.

MPAA film rating system - Commercial viability of the NC-17 rating
In its initial years of use, few List of NC-17 rated films|films with the NC-17 rating were profitable

As of March 2007, according to Variety (magazine)|Variety, MPAA chairman Dan Glickman had been made aware of the attempts to introduce a new rating, or find ways to reduce the stigma of the NC-17 rating. Film studios have pressured the MPAA to retire the NC-17 rating, because of its likely impact on their film's box office revenue.

During the controversy about the MPAA's decision to give the film Blue Valentine (film)|Blue Valentine (2010) an NC-17 rating (The Weinstein Company challenged this decision, and the MPAA ended up awarding the same cut an R rating on appeal), actor Ryan Gosling noted that NC-17 films are not allowed wide advertisement and that, given the refusal of major cinema chains like AMC Cinemas|AMC and Regal Cinemas|Regal to show NC-17 rated movies, many such films will never be accessible to people who live in markets that do not have art house theatres.

Legal scholar Julie Hilden wrote that the MPAA has a masterpiece exception that it has made for films that would ordinarily earn an NC-17 rating, if not for the broader artistic masterpiece that requires the violence depicted as a part of its message

MPAA film rating system - Issuance of R Cards
The cards generated much controversy; MPAA president Jack Valenti said in a news article: I think it distorts and ruptures the intent of this voluntary film ratings system

MPAA film rating system - Emphasis on sex and language versus violence
The film rating system has had a number of high profile critics

MPAA chairman Dan Glickman has disputed these claims, stating that far more films are initially rated NC-17 for violence than for sex, but that these are later edited by studios to receive an R rating.

Despite this, an internal critic of the early workings of the ratings system is film critic and writer Stephen Farber, who was a CARA intern for six months during 1969 and In The Movie Ratings Game, he documents a prejudice against sex in relation to violence. This Film Is Not Yet Rated also points out that four times as many films received an NC-17 rating for sex rather as they did for violence according to the MPAA's own website.

The 2011 documentary Bully (2011 film)|Bully received an R rating for the profanity contained within the film

MPAA film rating system - Call for publicizing the standards
In the film, it is also discussed how the MPAA will not reveal any information about who or why certain decisions are made, and that the association will not even reveal to the filmmaker the specific scenes that need to be cut in order to get alternative rating.

MPAA film rating system - Accusation of ratings creep
Although there has always been concern about the content of films, the MPAA has, in recent years, been accused of a ratings creep, whereby the films that fall into today's ratings categories now contain more objectionable material than those that appeared in the same categories two decades earlier

MPAA film rating system - Questions of relevance
Slashfilm.com managing editor David Chen wrote on the website: It's time for more people to condemn the MPAA and their outrageous antics. We're heading towards an age when we don't need a mommy-like organization to dictate what our delicate sensibilities can and can't be exposed to. I deeply hope that the MPAA's irrelevance is imminent.

MPAA film rating system - Questions of relevance
Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips wrote that the MPAA ratings board has become foolish and irrelevant, and its members do not have my interests at heart, or yours. They're too easy on violence yet bizarrely reactionary when it comes to nudity and language.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - MPAA rating and GLAAD controversy
In August 2001, three weeks prior to release, the film came under fire from the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), for its overwhelmingly Homophobia|homophobic tone, which included an abundance of gay jokes and characters excessively using the term gay to mean something derogatory

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - MPAA rating and GLAAD controversy
He also mentions in the audio commentary of the feature film that it took three submissions to the MPAA for the film to earn an R-rating.

The Right Stuff (film) - MPAA Rating
The film was originally rated R (Restricted, which means no one under 17 admitted) by the Motion Picture Association of America because of some strong language (the word fuck is used 5 times, which meant a near-impossible chance of it not being rated R) a scene of implied masturbation and other hard content; but it was given a PG rating on appeal (the PG-13 rating did not exist then; it was created the year after this film was released).[ Parent's Gude to 'The Right Stuff' (1983).] IMDb

Bushwhacked (film) - MPAA Rating
When the film was first released at theaters everywhere in the United States, the film was originally rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America because of some strong profanity (the word fuck is uttered only once, along with one obscured use of shit, and several mild religious exclamations) a scene of an implied comical description of sexual innuendo, using Barbie dolls, and other crude dialogues; but the film was given a PG rating when the film was re-edited and re-released on VHS and released on DVD as part of the Fox Family Feature series

Osmosis Jones - MPAA issue
Osmosis Jones was originally rated PG-13 for crude language and bodily humor in Warner Bros. edited the film to make it family-friendly, and in 2001 the film was re-rated PG for bodily humor.

Count Yorga, Vampire - Difficulties with the MPAA
The film ended up going before the MPAA ratings board six times before being granted the GP rating, and two or three minutes of violent and sexual content were ultimately removed by AIP

Count Yorga, Vampire - Difficulties with the MPAA
The most obvious excision was the scene wherein a woman, having succumbed to bloodlust after having been bitten by Yorga, is discovered with her dead pet cat in her hands. In the theatrical version, the scene is so brief that it was hard to tell what was happening. Complete prints of the film show the bloody cat quite clearly.

LDS cinema - MPAA ratings
Some critics leveled a Motion Picture Association of America film rating system#Tougher standards for independent studios|common complaint about the MPAA ndash; that it more harshly rates movies not from the major film studios

Children of the Gods - MPAA rating and subsequent edits
This episode along with episodes two and three of the first season of the series are the only ones to be rated Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|R by the Motion Picture Association of America|MPAA for a scene of nudity, while in the UK the episode is rated 18 by the BBFC

After being edited into film format it was rated Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|PG.
