Movies Versus Rap Music: Los Angeles rap group PG-13 has angered the Motion Picture Assn. of America which maintains that the copyrighted term should be used only to describe movies. A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the rappers, effectively barring them from using the name or distributing their album “Rollin’ Wit Da PG.”. Officials with the record label say they will fight the ruling, arguing that it’s not likely that the group will be confused with a movie rating.
