I may be wrong, but I don't think it's anything like the MPAA. A team couldn't just say "F You" to the MLB and leave to play in another league. A studio could definitely do that.

The MPAA also probably has little to no control over when a movie is scheduled for release, how it is distributed, how it is advertised, who is in the movie.

Unless I don't know what the MPAA is.
