The Recording Industry Association of America (or RIAA) is a trade group that represents the recording industry in the United States. Its members consist of a large number of private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, who create and distribute about 90% of recorded music sold in the US. It is involved in a series of controversial copyright infringement legal actions on behalf of its members. In some of those cases it has been called by the defendants "a cartel acting collusively in violation of the antitrust laws and of public policy, by tying their copyrights to each other, collusively litigating and settling all cases together, and by entering into an unlawful agreement among themselves to prosecute and to dispose of all cases in accordance with a uniform agreement, and through common lawyers, thus overreaching the bounds and scope of whatever copyrights they might have". The RIAA was formed in 1952 primarily to administer the RIAA equalization curve, a technical standard of frequency response applied to vinyl records during manufacturing and playback. The RIAA has continued to participate in creating and administering technical standards for later systems of music recording and reproduction, including magnetic tape, cassette tapes, digital audio tapes, CDs and software-based digital technologies. The RIAA also participates in the collection, administration and distribution of music licenses and royalties. The association is responsible for certifying gold and platinum albums and singles in the USA. For more information about sales data see List of best selling albums and List of best selling singles. The RIAA's stated goals are: to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists; to perform research about the music industry; to monitor and review relevant laws, regulations and policies. The RIAA is led by Mitch Bainwol, who has been Chairman and CEO since 2003. He is assisted by Cary Sherman, the President of the Board of Directors. There are 27 members of the board, who are drawn from a number of record companies. The RIAA represents a large number of members, who are private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, and who create and distribute about 90% of recorded music sold in the US. The RIAA's website contains a list of members, which has been disputed in the past, as Matador Records, Fat Wreck Chords Lookout Records, Epitaph Records and Bloodshot Records (who are not members) have been listed there. Some may have been automatically included in the list as they were using RIAA members as distributing labels. The RIAA lists its member labels on their website. However, their website lists not only includes RIAA labels but non-RIAA labels that are distributors that report to the RIAA. The site has also not been updated since 2003 and is outdated.

The RIAA is an association of people who represent the "best interest" of the recording industry==I.E. Music and movies. The RIAA is the group responsible for shutting down Napster and bringing lawsuits against file-sharers. It is basically the big infant that kicks and screams and has a fit when people download music or movies without paying someone who is already extremely rich (such as a record executive). Sadly, the RIAA could have used Napster to make online music one of the most profitable industries in the world. Instead they chose to sue everyone that could fog a mirror, which many experts would argue was a horrible business strategy. The citation you mentioned was probably based on data collected by the RIAA. |
