The MPAA, or Motion Picture Association of America, is an organization that represents the film industry in the United States. It is best known for its film rating system, which helps guide audiences on the suitability of movies for different age groups. The ratings range from G (General Audience) to NC-17 (No One 17 and Under Admitted), providing parents with information to make informed choices for their children. In addition to rating films, the MPAA also works to protect the interests of the movie industry by advocating for copyright laws and fighting against piracy. By promoting the value of creative content, the MPAA aims to ensure that filmmakers can continue to produce quality entertainment for audiences around the world.
