Read up, personally the RIAA is gonna get into loads of trouble if they start targeting big companies for music swapping

[Alientank]

Damn they've pissed off big corporations, p2p companies, downloaders and even artists are pissed about it. They have no friends besides money and congress now.

I had been thinking about breaking into my school's radio station during off hours and playing acts from non-RIAA labels. If asked to pay the royalties, I'd tell 'em I don't owe the RIAA shit, and I'd keep records to prove it if I get taken to court. Think I could pull it off?

Depends on what kind of security you got there. :P

I think the doorknob to the studio is locked. IMJack will never make it in. Sorry.

Epitaph and Fat Wreck are in? Bull shit!

On the other hand, Kung Fu and Asian Man are out. So I can play all the Alkaline Trio and Vandals I want. :)

Oh, and er... phear my leet mod skills, or somesuch. yeah.

[Sharessa]

I thought their website was down...

Anyway, here are some labels that appear to be safe:

Cleopatra
Metropolis
Spitfire
Volcano (though I think they use BMG distribution which is a member)

And some which may have changed names or ceased to exist, but I couldn't find them on that list:

Industrial Records
TVT

Hmm...someone should make a list of safe labels.

[Liam]

i believe checking that riaa members list for your favorite labels is much easier than compiling a list of every non-riaa approved record label in existence, dan.

and wtf is a safe label? are you afraid that if you buy an artist on a riaa associated label the men in black suits will come to your home and anally probe you with a rolled-up eminem poster?

I'm having a heluva time trying to find companies that support this. Where do I look? (wanna make sure certain ones aren't in)

No you mong, but every CD I buy from the RIAA is more money in their pockets.
