RIAA Music Download Controversy!
The opinion expressed in this video does not encourage any criminal activity nor support illegally downloading music, motion pictures and television shows. Anyone who advocates the illegal downloading of music, motion pictures, and television could face criminal charges, lawsuits and seizure of your electronic devices. Penalties could reach up to $250,000 or five years (5) in prison.
In June 2009, a Minnesota mother has been ordered to pay over $1.92 million in damages.
In 2004, Mrs. Jammie Thomas-Rassett was the first of hundreds of illegal downloading lawsuits filed the Recording Industry ociation of America (RIAA).
The movie industry and music industry are blaming peer-to-peer file sharing for the recent decline in television, radio, music sales, motion picture releases and the entertainment industry.
Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Reggae, Classical Rhythm and Blues, Popular Music, Oldies, Eclectic, Nursery Rhymes, and even food and television themes are under the RIAA.
The RIAA has been criticized harshly for the excess lawsuits.
Do two wrongs make a right?
Note: The purpose of the RIAA:
1. to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists;
2. to perform research about the music industry;
3. to monitor and review relevant laws, regulations and policies.
Thanks to the subscribers, friends and supporters of the videos. To all critics, do me a favor: “Prove Me Wrong!”
PS- Bring factual evidence!
