National Association of the Motion Picture Industry

The National Association of the Motion Picture Industry (NAMPI) was a regulatory body created by the Hollywood studios in 1916 to answer demands of censorship.[1][2][3] The system consisted of a series of "Thirteen Points", a list of subjects and storylines they promised to avoid.[1] The organization tried to prevent New York from becoming the first state with its own censorship board in 1921, but failed.[4] NAMPI was ineffective and was replaced when the studio hired Will H. Hays to oversee censorship in 1922.[5]
