quoting a comment I read here a few months ago, the MPAA has a combined market cap of $250 billion.

Sounds interesting - would make it about the size of Microsoft

Some market cap vs annual revenue ratios: Microsoft (MSFT) $255bn market cap - $72bn revenue - ratio 3.54 Apple (AAPL) $437bn market cap - $128bn revenue - ratio 3.41 IBM (IBM) $224bn market cap - $107bn revenue - ratio 2.09

average market cap / revenue of above: 3.01

this avg ratio would estimate a total annual revenue of about $83bn for all MPAA members.
