Re: Curious

but i wonder what makes the RIAA an Authorized downloader then. because the artist and/or their label would have to give permission, otherwise the RIAA is no different then someone else downloading.

course im sure the contracts for RIAA membership probally cover this with legalese bullshit. "the RIAA shall have full and unlimited access to media from its member corporations" or something.

well it goes like this
if the RIAA is authorized to sue and collect winnings of suits and settlements then they own the rights in to the music in some way
if didnt have the rights
then they wouldnt be legally able to file suit or collect settlements

The RIAA are acting as agents for the copyright holders, and they have been giving explicit permission by those holders (the record labels, probably) to undertake these activities.
