It worked well for the movie studios and MPAA. The MPAA ratings board has the veneer of being independent without actually being too independent.

- lonelappde 7y agoThe MPAA is an Association. It's a small government for studios. It's not intended to be independent, it's intended to balance power along its members. If there was only one studio it could do ratings in-house.
