Protecting Creativity, Expanding Choice
Respect for copyright is central to the ability of creative artists to make great movies and help our economy grow. The MPA is committed to protecting the rights of those who create the content we love. We also understand that this means embracing new technologies and innovative approaches that enable consumers to enjoy their favorite movies and TV shows in exciting and flexible ways.
From the creative arts to the software industry, more and more people around the globe make their living based on the power of their ideas. This means there is a growing global stake in protecting intellectual property rights and recognizing that these safeguards are a cornerstone of a healthy global information economy.
