An organization that loves to shoot itself in the foot by suing the very people who buy CDs from the corporations that represent it.
What the Hell? I got sued for having an Eminem and Britney Spears fan site, and I didn't even have a single MP3 on it, and I made clearly made references to my sources.

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.

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.
