The 7 “dwarfs”
In an interview that appears in the film “This film is not yet rated (2006)” [1] [2] mister Jack Valenti says: “…the motion picture association is composed of the seven largest producers of film and television in the world, the old great studio names, and I’ve been the head of it 34 years…”. The association he was referring to is the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) which is integrated by:
- Sony Pictures
- Warner Brothers
- Universal
- 20th Century Fox
- Walt Disney Pictures
- Paramount
- MGM (bought in 2005 by capitals in part from Sony)
:arrow: These corporations control more than 95% of the U.S. film business :!:
Even more, these corporations are part of even larger conglomerates:
- Sony Pictures → Sony
- Warner Brothers → TimeWarner
- Universal → General Electric
- 20th Century Fox → News Corp.
- Walt Disney Pictures → The Walt Disney Company
- Paramount → VIACOM
- MGM → Sony
:arrow: These last conglomerates own more than 90% of all media in the U.S.

PS: Watch the movie. It’s a documentary about how the MPAA accomplishes censorship in the land of freedom in the most open and declared way. One more and counting…
