"Music and Film Association of America". Originally came from an Internet prank stating that the MPAA and RIAA had merged. The prank was playing on their harsh "above the law" lobbying efforts against copyright infringement.
Examples of this "above the law" lobbying efforts include lobbying for the right to hack, trying to require backdoors in computers by law, and their issuing of notices to individuals regarding alleged copyright infringement.
Due to the amount of money and legal force the RIAA and MPAA have, often people will sign self-incriminating agreements to pay a penalty (even if one is innocent). In one case, where a woman decided to instead take it to the courts, the MAFIAA impersonated her daughter's grandmother in order to take her out of school for "counseling".
While originally a prank, the abbreviation MAFIAA is used when describing actions and attitudes by the RIAA and MPAA which seem "above the law".

There's that "way" the Mafia does business, and the RIAA and MPAA do it too. Both of these industries must be involved with the "MAFIAA".

Get the MAFIAA mug.Maiah is a very outgoing person. She tends to put others before herself a lot. She will always be there for you when you need her and won't let you down. She is smart but likes to deny it. A lot of people tend to spell her name wrong especially when in school. Not alot of Maiah's in the world either. She is full of love for other people so when she says I love you, know she means it.

Get the Dance Mafia mug.An old mafia themed text based game that has some cool ass people in it, but a lazy admin who hasn't added content since they went extreme (everything x100) some time ago. It has a great community, depending on how you treat it, while also having some low lifes who spend thousands of dollars on it to get into what is called the 'Hall Of Fame', which is basically a list of the best players. The people there are rather spectacular, if you find the right ones, and as obviously in any mafia game there are bullies.
