This organization represents the artists, right? WRONG! We don't get a cent from our works thanks to the RIAA, and the only way we can get by is to stage concerts, which is a risk because that sometimes costs us more than what we can afford. Supposedly the RIAA is trying to protect other peoples' works from being "pirated", but in reality, the RIAA destroys 1/3 of the music CDs not sold, counts that as "Lost Sales", and rewrites it to "Lost Sales caused by Piracy". If anything, piracy actually HELPS us a lot because more people listen to our music and decide whether it's worth keeping or not. The RIAA just keeps on resisting changes in technology, and has even gone to the point of suing the poor, the children, and the college students, all who make up a large percentage of its customers.
I encourage everyone to share and trade music because that's the best way folks like me can ever be known beyond our towns.

Originally derived from the word rad. When a hot girl walks in the room, it is a Raadney moment. It is a multi functional word in that it 1. greats the girl 2. wakes up your friend and gets their attention to highlight that a hot girl has entered the room 3. it introduces your retarded and ugly hair losing big nosed virgin friend to the hot girl. Everyone loves Raadney.

Record Industry Assholes of America.
Rich Idiots Abusing Artists.
Really Irritating Anal Aneurisms

Record Industry Always Antagonizes

The record industry's re-enactment of George Orwell's "1984". The evil entity that controls 90% of all music in America, and a rapidly-growing percentage of music worldwide. The oppressor of real musicians, and those who are tired of paying ridiculous prices for 1-good-song/14-shitty-songs CDs. Thanks to the RIAA, musicians can't profit from their works until 75+ years after they are dead.
Fuck the RIAA! I can't even post my own goddamn MP3s on my website without them trying to sue my ass off!

He is the man of your dreams. You'll meet him and instantly dream of kissing him under the starlight. His smile will make your heart melt. His eyes are beautiful and his style is immaculate. Riad is funny, and cursed, and adorable, and handsome. He may be a bit of a crackhead but that only adds to his appeal.
Person 1: Haha yeah I was just hanging out with Riad, I love that dude
Person 2: Woah what? Bruh you should've invited me or something you know I would die for him

Guess what, guys and gals. The RIAA KNEW that optical disks (CDs/DVDs) have an average life span of less than 20 years, yet they STILL pushed for the DMCA. Now they are aggressively trying to destroy p2p/peer-to-peer and the MP3 audio format because they DON't want people to know, for their profits are at stake.
I bought a CD in 1988 and now it doesn't play properly because the plastic layers are basically rotten. Now I can't even try to download replacements of te songs I had on that CD without being sued by the RIAA.

I've been assraped by the RIAA again!!!! They told me that the CD would be a permanent replacement to the cassette, the 8 track, and the vinyl.
