Amazon Prime and MGM Studios join the MPA

Amazon Prime Video has grown significantly in recent years, becoming a key player in the global production and distribution of films and television series. The acquisition of MGM in 2021, which gave it access to a vast library of iconic titles, allowed the streaming company to strengthen its offering of exclusive content and its ability to compete in an environment increasingly dominated by streaming.

Why is it relevant to the industry?

The MPA is known for being a key advocate for policies that protect creative and intellectual property rights around the world. Amazon’s inclusion in this group expands the association’s reach and ability to influence global regulatory policies and combat issues such as piracy, which remains a major concern for studios and platforms.

The entertainment company also notes that its commitment to supporting storytellers and the global creative industry aligns with the MPA’s goals of fostering an entertainment ecosystem that benefits both studios and creators.

As part of the partnership, Amazon will take a more active role in promoting distribution models that expand viewing options globally. Its Prime Video platform has grown in relevance and in the local market it already has rights to exclusive content, such as the broadcast of Chivas games.

With this addition, Amazon reaffirms its evolution in digital entertainment. As the industry continues to adapt to changes in consumer habits, technology and user expectations, the alliance between Prime Video, MGM Studios and the MPA will be crucial to setting standards and protecting the interests of creative and technology companies that shape the global entertainment experience.
