The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) vs. P2P

Compared to P2P, the American Film Institute (MPAA) first dismissed Napster and gradually became a full-blown attack against online Peer-2-Peer (P2P) file sharing network participants. The recording industry (RIAA) may have generated the first volley, but the film industry typified by the American Film Institute (MPAA) has just entered a lawsuit recently. On 16th November 2004, MPAA announced a lawsuit against a group of P2P users accused of owning and / or distributing copyrighted movies.

The Film Rating System of the American Film Institute (MPAA) is used in the United States and its regions to evaluate whether movies are suitable for a particular audience based on the content of the movie. The MPAA rating system is a voluntary program that is not enforced by law; some theaters reject the screening of unevaluated or NC - 17 movies, but you can screen movies without rating . Members other than MPAA can also submit evaluation movies. Other media such as TV programs, music and video games are evaluated by other organizations such as TV Parent Guide, RIAA, ESRB.

The censorship system may take the form of an evaluation system. In 2014, the British TV drama "Pride" was rated "R" by the American Film Institute (MPAA). This is a non-direct way to review movies with LGBT + content, but it is equally effective. "High" movies means few people see it. In November 2017, the television program which recorded the history of North American fur trading in the 2nd season of the frontier, the 18th century, is just beginning to be aired on Netflix and Discovery Canada. I talked with my friends on Twitter about this program and discovered by chance that the versions being broadcast on Netflix and Discovery Canada are different.

On a new Web site called WhereToWatch, it makes it easier to find legitimate online movies and TV shows. According to Re / code, WhereToWatch is the establishment of the American Film Institute (MPAA). In the era of Google search and dark links for almost all movies and TV shows, WhereToWatch is the last attempt by MPAA to reduce piracy. Viewster, a Swiss-based VOD service, launched a quarterly online film festival charity version. The 4th viewer online film festival (# VOFF 4) is known as "sharing" and focuses on "raising awareness of human rights, society, economics and environmental problems".
