| The RIAA does not recognize fair-use, or any fair-use doctrine what-so-ever.
It is the position of the RIAA that there is no such thing a fair-use, under any circumstance or at any time.
It is the position of the RIAA that it’s policies and edicts supersede international, federal or state law.
It is the position that all (recorded) music comes under the prevue of the RIAA regardless of source, ownership, content, status, or will of its creator. | |

No it's not. The RIAA is NOT the ONLY LEGAL SOLUTION to get your art covered by copyright. They are funded by the majors. There's the whole Indie world out there as well, and the creative commons. www.creativecommons.org
www.anyhow.net
www.downhillbattle.org
lets get these idiots out of a job and take the majors over with the creative commons new copyright and licensing model and f**k them deep.

| You owe us Soon the RIAA/MPAA is going to try and bill us if we happen to hear/see copyrighted material being played in someone else’s (insert audio/vidio playing device here).
They will expect everyone to wear earplugs/eye covers 24x7 in order to avoid being prosecuted for illegally listening to copyrighted material.
Then they will shove tubes down our throat, directly interface to our brain, and plunge us into bathtubs full of thermal collecting goop, while we slip into a virtual world of their design, and control.

| No they will force you to declare the situations in which you want to play music at any time and estimate how many people will be able to hear it. Then make you pay a fee for every person. So listening with head phones will be a couple of bucks , and listening on a boom box at the beach will cost a few thousand dollars. | |

| Seem to be going too far here Yea, I do agree they seem to be going too far here. I do understand how things are copyrighted, but to punish people using a medium to express their love for a paticular song is pretty rediculous. Especially since its a medium where you can not download any of the content (its in a somewhat protected format)....and the fact that it isnt being sold either. They are just trying to alienate everyone. | |

| Look on the good side Due to all of the publicity, 90% of internet users now know exactly where to get their free music.
Why don't we ever hear the RIAA talk about Usenet?
I presume that because of the RIAA a London UK radio station that I used to listen to Heart 102.6 has stopped broadcasting to USA IP addresses. Personally I feel quite disgusted about that situation. If I was stinking rich I might feel like starting a law suit over the situation. Listening to a radio staion over the internet is not even closely related to selling or trading songs on the internet. My listening is not reducing royalty to any artist by 1 cent.
Radio waves (at least short wave) reach the USA from all sorts of other countries so maybe the RIAA will get foreign stations to reduce their power if their radio waves are reaching the USA | |

| Re: my RIAA rant said by King P : This would change if the dancers had an ad at the end of their video promoting their pay site or whatever, that would then be a violation of copyright law. Does YouTube have ads? If they do, then your comment about ads making it a copyright violation apply.
If the amateur just sent it to grandma then their would be no violation. But posting it to a commercial site with ads breaks the law.

| Re: my RIAA rant Absolutely right. Also if these people are just having some fun with copyrighted music they can claim they are doing a parody, which is also fair use. As a matter of fact they can do anything they want on these videos under fair use. They can even make money off of the copyrighted work, so long as they pay royalties.
The RIAA is grabbing at straws. Cease and desist letters are just a strong arm tactic that has as much legal standing as me banging on my neighbor's wall when they play their music too loud. | |

| Re: my RIAA rant Absolutely wrong.
- You Tube sells ads and makes a profit off the videos uploaded by users/viewers so there are commercial use issues.
- Most soundtrack/background use would not qualify as parody.
- Fair use is very arguable depending on the specifics.
As for the RIAA, this truly moves them into a whole new realm of stupidity. | |

IMO, absolutely nothing; they'll probably delete it without even reading it, or even worse, send cops to your door if the message contains any death threats.
If you REALLY want to make a difference, stop caring about their products. That includes, buying, downloading (both legally and illegally), listening to and watching. On top of it all, convince your family, friends, and as many others as you possibly can to do the same. Remember, the only language those scumbags at RIAA/MPAA understand is a language of money, so let's hit them where it hurts (their pockets) and hit them hard.

| Better yet don't give a rat's ass what the RIAA thinks and support the artists you like no matter who signed them on. What you're essentially saying is damn anybody connected to the labels that are part of the RIAA, but the thing is you are hurting the artists a lot more than some organization that likes to litigate rather than innovate.
Besides, as phantom put it, loss in revenue only give their argument validity. If the major label suffered a 20%-40% drop in sales in a single year you bet they will go to congress and lobby for some serious changes in copyright law. And because of your crusade they will get it. Best thing to do is buy what you want, let the record sales soar, and laugh at the RIAA for claiming P2P is killing the music industry. | |

I can see whats coming next. After you purchase your new video camera, you will have to connect it to the internet so it can be configured by the RIAA/MPAA to have certain rights. | |

RIAA says he's not allowed to play that song or any song i'm guessing while making a video. If you plan on distributing that video on the internet or any other form you can get in trouble. However if you make a private video for viewing in your own home, (i.e. not for distribution, even for free.) then there is not much they can do. However, if you make a copy for a family member you can get in trouble.
Now if the music is just in the back ground and really not part of what is going on in the video, you might be ok. But, when they make a movie and there is a song playing in the back ground, the makers of that movie have to pay royalties for that song. Of course they plan on making money, but making money is not required for the RIAA to protect their clients property rights. If you were to post the video on youtube for public viewing then you would be gaining recognition for your work on the video. So would you like it if someone were to take the video you made, and were to do something with it to make money and not give you any? Or what if they used it in a manner you disliked. Oh and youtube sells advertising on their website. When users post their videos using other people’s music, then they are capitalizing on others copyrights. They are making money on others intellectual rights. So the point is, turn the TV off or mute it. (if it is a music video) Please note it would be better to turn it off because if you video tape the video you could get popped too.. lol | |

| Re: So... I see the same contention with P2P regarding this as well. That is not for profit distribution that doesn't affect the livelihood of the artist in question is still deemed not to be copyright infringement. The RIAA hasn't gotten a significant victory on any individual sharing music online. I see even less success trying to get a judgement against a video of little Timmy's birthday party that happens to have Celene Dion playing in the background. | |
