The Recording Industry Association of America. The music industry's own modern day version of J. Edgar Hoover and Joseph McCarthy. Much like the two aforementioned men, the RIAA systematically ruins the lives of helpless people (e.g. kids, college students, poor people). The only difference is instead of naming them Communists because of personal beliefs, they sue the shit out of them to the point of no return for downloading a song for free instead of buying an overpriced CD with that one good song on it and 12 other crappy ones.
This may be an exaggeration, but 20 years from now when 90% of the country is living in housing projects, trailer parks, or even wondering the street homeless, we will all remember it was because the RIAA sued the crap out of some 6 million college students, forcing them to drop out because they couldn't pay their tuition due to the lawsuits. Now they are all doing low paying manual labor jobs because they have nothing to their name.

Get the RIAA mug.by Omyn September 9, 2003
Get the RIAA mug.Roling paper for lose tabaco or joints.
Comes in big (blue= rise paper) and small (orange and blue).
Orange (in slang called 'red RIZLA') should be accompanied with VanNelle 1/2 or Javaanse Jongens 3/4 tabaco.

Get the RIZLA mug.A group of corporate assholes who make money by suing people who use filesharing as a means of obtaining free music. The artists who are having their work "illegally" distributed usually don't give a fuck anyway, because they make hardly any money off of record sales (biggest source of income is concerts and special events).
Music is an art, an expression. For someone to say "You cannot enjoy that, it is not yours" is bullshit.
If you really want to support your favorite artists, go to as many shows as you can. That's where their support is.
