What is the RIAA? RIAA stands for Recording Industry Association Of America. They are a trade association and lobbying company representing foreign media conglomerates (SONY, Bertlesman, Vivendi, EMI and others), who control 80% of the world?s record sales, and have banded together to lobby for amendments to United Stated copyright laws. The RIAA claims that Internet file sharing is reducing CD sales and taking money away from artists. Currently, the RIAA is making news for suing peer-to-peer file sharers (specifically targeting college students) who distribute RIAA controlled music. |
