The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is a group which represents the recording industry distributors in the United States. Its members consist of record labels and distributors, which the RIAA say "create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 85% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States". 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 (including cassette tapes and digital audio tapes), CDs and software-based digital technologies. The RIAA participates in the collection, administration and distribution of music licenses and royalties. The association is also responsible for certifying gold and platinum albums and singles in the USA. The RIAA lists its goals as:

Q. I used to illegally download music, but have since decided to stop because of all the recent law suits. What do I have to do to be in the clear? Asked by J - Mon Nov 5 17:54:01 2007 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments A. If the RIAA has records of you downloading copyrighted content, deleting, formatting or trashing your computer is all useless. You will still get slapped with a lawsuit. Answered by Maller - Mon Nov 5 17:57:59 2007 Can I get in trouble (by the RIAA or someone) for downloading Korean dramas and movies? Q. I live in the college dorms, and it is very easy for them to track us down (or so I heard). I was just wondering if the RIAA or the other industries care if I download Korean movies/dramas. Thanks. Oh, and its through torrents. Asked by Johnny S - Thu Mar 13 19:32:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. d-addicts.com Most korean/japanese/taiwanese drama are not copyrighted.

Q. Once they find out who does it, how do they find where they live and stuff? Also about how many songs need to be downloaded before they start coming after you? and will they send a warning before arresting you? Asked by anonymous - Sat Dec 16 15:23:35 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you're sharing a ton of stuff on, say, the Gnutella network (though Limewire, Bearshare, etc), they'll spend the money to track you, and get your home address out of your ISP. Some ISP's watch downloads, like Torrents. A friend of mine just got a stern warning from his ISP (I can't remember which) to cut it out or they'd A) Report him, and B) Cancel his service completely. He was using Torrents for copyrighted material, of course. To find you, all they have to do is use the p2p program plugging into whatever network(s) you're on, and search for *something* copyrighted. They get a list of results, just like you would, and they browse YOU (at random). If your selection of illegals is enormous, they backtrack your IP on the P2P network… [cont.] Answered by kingoomieiii - Wed Dec 20 11:03:44 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "riaa" |
