Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) chairman Dan  
Glickman and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)  
president Cary Sherman today announced the historic merger of the two  
organizations. The newly-created entity is being called the Music And  
Film Industry Association of America, Inc. The announcement, made  
today at the MPAA headquarters in Los Angeles, CA has been a long  
time coming, according to Glickman.

"The RIAA and the MPAA have been persuing very similar avenues with  
respect to their fight against piracy of music and movies for many  
years now," Glickman said. "It just made sense to combine our efforts  
for maximum effectiveness."
