I still buy music from artists under the RIAA umbrella because the artist I like and listen to the most should be supported.

The artist(s) you listen to the most should be urged to crawl out from underneath the RIAA umbrella and produce/promote/distribute their own product - or to use one of the many far superior small music services organizations and/or small labels to do it for them. Artists who do not make the move away from old-school, Label-as-God (RIAA) model are rapidly losing my respect as "artists" and must, at some point, be considered more for their marketing conduct than for their music.
