| | Statement of Moody's Investors Service on Credit Rating Agencies |
 | | Rating decisions are taken by a rating committee and not an individual rating analyst. | | | While rating agencies have rightly been the subject of market critique and discussion, the various groups of market participants expressing views have different and potentially rivaling needs and goals, some of which are not primarily aligned with market efficiency or transparency or investor protection. | | | Unpaid published ratings are subject to the same standard of analysis and rating committee process as paid ratings. |

| | MPAA film rating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sometimes these versions would have earned an NC-17 if submitted for rating, but often their unrated status is merely for marketing purposes, with the implication that the added unrated material is racier than an R rating would permit. | | | Although this is not always the case, films that have legitimate historical or educational value usually get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the decision whether to rate the movie in a higher or lower category. | | | In 2000, due to issues raised by Senator Joseph Lieberman, the National Association of Theater Owners, the major trade association in the U.S., announced it would start strict enforcement of ID checks for R and NC-17 rated movies; however, only a small percentage of cinemas (as of 2005) are doing it so. |
