	UCITA: Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Letter 09.Oct.1998
		Because these industries, including the recording industry, contribute so greatly to our national economy and indeed the global economy, each deserves and requires a contractual framework which yields outcomes which are both certain and consistent with established commercial practices in its own industry.
		It is therefore difficult for the recording industry to interpret and understand the impact of a completely new set of contract rules which will govern commerce in a marketplace the shape and dynamics of which are still largely a matter of speculation.
		Under a typical recording contract the artist agrees to render the artist's services, individually or as part of a group, exclusively to the record company during the term of the contract for the purpose of making sound recordings (or "master recordings" in record company parlance).

		On July 24, 2002 the RIAA served Verizon with a subpoena issued pursuant to § 512(h), seeking the identity of a subscriber whom the RIAA believed to be engaged in infringing activity.
		Although the RIAA's conclusion is a non-sequitur with respect to § 512(a), we agree with the RIAA that Verizon overreaches by claiming the notification described in § 512(c)(3)(A) applies only to the functions identified in § 512(c).
		Be that as it may, contrary to the RIAA's claim, nothing in the legislative history supports the issuance of a § 512(h) subpoena to an ISP acting as a conduit for P2P file sharing.

	RIAA wins battle to ID Kazaa user \| CNET News.com
		In what is widely viewed as a test case, U.S. District Judge John Bates said the wording of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requires Verizon to give the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) the name of a Kazaa subscriber who allegedly has shared hundreds of music recordings.
		The dispute is not about whether the RIAA will be able to force Verizon to reveal the identity of a suspected copyright infringer, but about what legal mechanism copyright holders may use.
		The RIAA would prefer to rely on the DMCA's turbocharged procedures because they are cheaper and faster than other methods, but Verizon and civil liberties groups have said the DMCA does not apply and that it does not adequately protect privacy.

		The Problem: RIAA wants to invade your privacy, while performers complain that music companies don't pay them the royalties to which they are entitled.
		The recording industry no longer acts as a gatekeeper to determine whose music gets published.
		I don't know how much the artists get in the way of royalties from the recording industry, but $3.00 on a $15.00 (retail) CD would be 20 percent.
