The MPA currently includes major studios such as Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Amazon has officially joined the Motion Picture Association (MPA) through its Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios subsidiaries.

Charles Rivkin, MPA chairman, stated that Amazon's membership will enhance policymaking and content protection efforts for the industry.

This move underscores Amazon's significant presence in the entertainment industry, particularly in the streaming sector.

With this addition, Amazon becomes the second tech company to gain MPA representation, following Netflix's membership in 2019.

Amazon has been involved with the MPA since 2017 through its Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, focusing on anti-piracy initiatives.

This development highlights the growing convergence of the entertainment and technology sectors.

Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, expressed pride in joining the MPA to support creators and the entertainment industry.

Joining the MPA aims to help protect creators and consumers globally while sustaining a robust entertainment industry.

Rivkin emphasized the role of MPA studios in driving local economies, creating jobs, and enriching cultures.

In 2023, Amazon invested $19 billion in content creation, reflecting its commitment to the entertainment sector.

Since its film debut in 2015, Amazon has released notable titles such as 'Manchester by the Sea' and 'One Night in Miami.'
