Want to boycott the RIAA? Check out this site...

RIAA Radar

"It allows you to search for an artist or album and it will provide you with a best guess as to whether the item is affiliated with the RIAA. Now you can check, before you buy some music, if you will be contributing to RIAA's cause or not. Very handy."

cool

 

[apoppin]

Good Idea.

I currently use my (anti) RIAAdar on CDs more simply . . . if it lists for $15-18, I skip it no matter how much it is discounted. Indies generally have a MSRP of $12 or less for a new CD.

Then don't buy it. If the RIAA is gonna be a bunch of nut heads, then we don't need to buy their stuff. Besides, if you listen to RIAA affiliated music, you really need to find some new stuff to listen to. Every single CD I own is either independent, or with a smaller company who is totally unassociated with the RIAA and I've got well over 100 different CD's. So I don't see where you should have a problem with finding new stuff to listen to.

Do they have any website that gives an free artist equivalent for a "RIAA" artist? That might be a really good idea since a person like me doesnt really know where to start

Good, because I've purchased most of those. Glad to know I wasn't supporting RIAA, though somehow I already knew I wasn't.

You must be some kid then with a vendetta against the RIAA. Most of us own CD's pre-RIAA lawsuits. You either live in a box or youre all of 10 yrs old and just started listening to music.

 

[yukichigai]

Boo!

Boo again!

F%$#ing RIAA... ahh well, at least their albums can be found used.

 

[Lalakai]

and make certain that when you go to stores, look at the cd's then talk to the manager or sales person and tell that that you're purchasing only music not affiliated with RIAA, and let the stores start passing the message back.

Chances are you have a local radio station that is owned by ClearChannel. They play bands that you've heard of on the news, tv, MTV, or general press. Most likely if you AND your friends have heard of a band and hear it regularly on the radio, it's RIAA. ClearChannel doesn't care much for playing independent music.

Personally I think CC is a bigger threat to music listeners than the RIAA. The RIAA is just protecting their interests; they're just not doing a very sensible job of it.

Hmmm, it appears that the RIAA got angry that there are artists that aren't part of their nazi organization and have decided to break the site:

i'm glad the biggest rock station in austin just broke all ties with clear channel. since that they've been playing MUCH better music.

well arent you mister cool guy

hate to break it to you but a lot of independent bands blow, sometimes there is a reason that they dont get major record deals.
