No, the MPAA is the Motion Picture Association of America. They are to the film industry what the BSA and the RIAA are to the software and record industry, respectively.

Rating movies is just one of the things they do. Between rating movies, they take time out of their busy day to moan about fire sharing, which causes well made high quality films like 2003's Hulk to bomb at the box office (no doubt, had the film not been leaked onto firesharing sites two weeks prior to its release, it would have been quite successful).

WHY NOT BOTH THE MPAA AND RIAA?

FF mentioned video files, so naturally I mentioned MPAA.

But yeah, in my conspiracy the MPAA, the RIAA, and the BSA have all joined forces to carry out these dirty deeds.
