An organization that you all should boycott because of their price fixing, and their deceit of the general public. Go to www.boycott-riaa.com and help us out. Get some action going on August 1st and 2nd.
The RIAA is a corrupt organization who buys their politicials.

Recording Industry Association of America. A bunch of fat cats who would rather see some kid sued then cut the price of CDs down to something actually reasonable, just so they can make more money and less real, more commercial music.
Back in the day we had to rent vinyls and record them to HD cassettes and if we were in danger of being caught we had to pull Mission Impossible shit. Now it's all a few clicks away and the RIAA probably just sends you an e-mail with a link to Paypal or some shit like that.

A bunch of cynical smart guys who were found the way to make money by giving bullshit to maroons from government and agonizing labels, misrepresenting reality and getting their own benefits from it.
You can't fight illegal downloading by punishing. Person, who downloads music will never buy CD. Others will learn on mistakes of every busted by RIAA victim and will download with care. Every busted technology will be replaced by new one, more sophisticated and safe for it's users. Customer makes a choice, and this choice is not always in favor of free stuff. Customer sets price for the music, not label.

Organization fervently attempting to destroy the music industry while claiming to be protecting artists rights in an anti piracy campaign that targets low income victims who cannot afford legal representation. Simultaneously performing an act of self destruction by alienating itself from mainstream culture, its present and future customers, and even the artists themselves, obviously disregarding the longterm effects of such a campaign.

These people will try to make your internet life a boring one by trying to crack down on people who like music and destroying them by sueing them for trading 0's and 1's over the internet.

I'm not paying for any music until the record industry either lowers the price of their CDs or they start making good music again.
