That was part of what was covered in the movie. Apparently it's not really the devil we know. They don't give specific criteria for what they use to rate films, particularly independent movies, and (before the names were discovered via the detective) nobody had any idea who was screening the movies. I won't give anything away, but it was very interesting to discover who was on the ratings board, and even more interesting to see who was involved with appeals.

Related to the indy experience versus the major studio treatment, one of the creators of South Park was on early in the movie, and he talked about how different his experience was when Orgasmo (indy) was rated, how they were given virtually no information. But when South Park's movie (studio) was rated, they received a specific list of why the film was given an NC-17 and what needed to be cut to get it an R.

There was also a bit of coverage on the acceptability of violence versus sex, which is something I've always had trouble with, long before I ever saw the film.
