From shared insights to a shared mission, the @ACE_antipiracy Global Meeting in Rome brought members and partners together to strengthen the global fight against digital piracy. As ACE approaches its 10th anniversary, one message is clear: protecting creativity requires collaboration across borders, industries, and sectors.
Thank you to the ACE members and global partners who enhance our mission to detect, deter, dismantle digital piracy.
Grazie a tutti! 🇮🇹

LA County has felt the impact of fewer film and TV productions, from lost jobs to millions of dollars leaving our local economy.
That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act led by @RepFriedmanCA to create a national tax credit that brings productions and good-paying jobs back home.

All 50 states will benefit from a Federal Film & TV Production Incentive. There's a reason this bill is bipartisan and supported by the entire American film & TV industry. Learn more and show your support at actionnetwork.org/letters/mo….
ALT A quote from SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin: Let us all protect the film and television business in the United States of America. All 50 states will benefit from this tax incentive program. Below: SAG-AFTRA Support the federal film & TV production incentive.

It’s time to bring film production back to America, save American jobs, and tell more American stories right here at home! #MakeFilmsInAmericaAct

Actress @CherylHines is advocating for tax incentives to bring Hollywood productions back to the U.S. and the jobs that come with them.
“When you’re watching a movie or TV show, for every one person you see on screen, there are thousands of people working behind them… we need to bring it back here and create those American jobs.”

Governors across the United States see what production means to their local communities: Â good-paying jobs and high-quality opportunities for American residents, workers, and businesses.Â

Day in and day out, the MPA works with the National Governors Association to promote smart policies and competitive production incentives — to support creators and foster a thriving creative economy from coast to coast.Â

A study released by @motionpictures finds that a federal film and TV production incentive could add nearly $250B to the U.S. economy from 2027-2035.

Every film, song, book, and work of art begins with a person – someone with an idea to share, a story to tell, and the talent and determination to bring it to life.
Fifty years ago today, Congress passed the Copyright Act of 1976 to reaffirm a fundamental principle: creators deserve to own their work, protect it, and benefit from what they create.
Copyright is more than a legal protection. It's a promise to the people whose imagination, skill, and hard work enrich our lives – and an investment in the stories, music, and art that future generations have yet to imagine.
Senator @maziehirono is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Copyright Act of 1976, a law that protects creative community and safeguards their rights to turn brilliant ideas into movies, TV, songs, books, and beyond.

When film production leaves America, movie stars still get their paychecks.
But the people who bring films to life - the four minutes of names scrolling during the credits - are the ones who pay the price.
My film bill supports the camera operators, makeup artists, construction workers, costume designers, caterers, and small businesses who make the magic happen! #MakeFilmsInAmericaAct

Why is an upcoming Nicolas Cage film shooting in Stillwater, MN? One big reason: the state's Film Production Tax Credit.
As #Parish director Adam Sigal put it, "That plays such a massive part."
Minnesota shows what’s possible when smart incentives attract production to local communities — more jobs, more investment, more growth for local hotels, restaurants, construction crews,  and small businesses.
A competitive federal incentive would build on the success, fueling U.S. competitiveness and working alongside state efforts to supercharge the landscape of American filmmaking. That’s the opportunity we can seize with the bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA).

Ohio knows the value of bringing big productions home – to the tune of over a billion in wages and nearly 16,000 jobs in a single year, thanks to filmmakers and creators setting their scenes in local communities.
From epics like “Superman” and “The Avengers” to classics like “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Rain Man,” the Buckeye State is a true treasure for storytelling in the American Midwest.

A self-described “epic” case of writer’s block for one of the industry’s most prolific writers? For Aaron Sorkin, it ended after a conversation with @FrancesHaugen – and it led him back into the world of Facebook with “The Social Reckoning.”
Telling her story returned Sorkin to the director’s chair, surrounded by talented creatives, all bringing a new, resonant story to life. Hear about his process and why he’s a proud voice for keeping production jobs in America.
