July 1 marks an important anniversary in the history of movies: The day the Motion Picture Association of America introduced the PG-13 rating. Prior to the PG-13, there was no rating for films that fell in the gray area between PG (movies where parental guidance was merely suggested) and R (movies that required adult supervision for admittance to the theater).
Online piracy is something that is slowly deteriorating the film and music industries, especially the latter. This week, the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America have launched the Copyright Alert System to start the war on internet piracy.
