Want To Know If A Band’s On An RIAA Label? Now You Can
How many times have you wondered if that excellent new Indie band is signed to a label in the dreaded RIAA evil empire? If you’re like me, too many. Since I make it a point to avoid purchasing music that will benefit the RIAA and their oppressive tactics, it's something I take seriously - but I’ve had little to go on when it came to finding out if my money would wind up in their pockets – until now.
A new product called RIAA Radar has been released that claims to detect RIAA member labels with a simple click, as long as you’re checking at Amazon.com. “The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America,” says the site magnetbox, and they continue, it’s easy to use too, “1.Add the RIAA Radar bookmarklet to your bookmarks/favorites list. 2. Go to any album's detail page on Amazon.com you would like to check. 3. Click the "RIAA Radar" bookmark!” Since the RIAA controls about 90% of the music most people purchase the odds are stacked against you that your new discovery isn’t on a member label. However, there’s always the nice surprise when you find one that's not - and you don’t have to feel culpable about buying the CD and supporting them. Now if only it worked with your favorite Peer-to-Peer too... - js. |
