Recording Industry Association of America

"RIAA" redirects here. You may also be looking for RIAA equalization. The Recording Industry Association of America (or RIAA) is a trade group that represents the recording industry in the United States. Its members consist of a large number of private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, who create and distribute about 90% of recorded music sold in the US. It is involved in a series of controversial copyright infringement legal actions on behalf of its members. In some of those cases it has been called by the defendants "a cartel acting collusively in violation of the antitrust laws and of public policy, by tying their copyrights to each other, collusively litigating and settling all cases together, and by entering into an unlawful agreement among themselves to prosecute and to dispose of all cases in accordance with a uniform agreement, and through common lawyers, thus overreaching the bounds and scope of whatever copyrights they might have". See, e.g. UMG v. Lindor, where the RIAA has moved to "strike" those accusations. The motion to strike the charges is pending, and is scheduled to be taken under consideration by the Court on October 2, 2007.

La sigla R.I.A.A. è l'acronimo dell'inglese Recording Industry Association of America, Associazione americana dei produttori discografici, fondata nel 1952, rappresenta l'industria discografica americana, il gruppo autorizzato per la certificazione dei dischi d'oro e di platino.La RIAA è stata recentemente al centro delle controversie sullo sviluppo del peer-to-peer, l'MP3 e la condivisione di file. I suoi tentativi di difendere gli interessi delle major sono stati visti da alcuni come un comportamento lesivo sia nei confronti dei consumatori che degli artisti.Gli avversari della RIAA affermano che questo gruppo forma un cartello che gonfia artificiosamente e fissa i prezzi dei CD. Questa affermazione sarebbe dimostrata dal fatto che le Big Five (BMG, EMI, Sony Music, Universal Music e Warner) distribuiscono almeno il 95 i tutti i CD a livello mondiale.
