The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is a trust that 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.

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.

Q. I just got a letter from Cablevision and DCMA warning me about an episode of John Adams i DL'd over Bittorrent. Asked by Tony T - Tue May 27 13:20:16 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Peer Guardian isn't 100%, but it's better than nothing. You probably were busted through a Bittorrent tracker who gave in to a warrant. I had the same thing happen to me through Sumotorrent's tracker.
