About DiaRIAA

Excessive and frequent evacuation of watery feces,
indicating music industry distress and disorder.

DiaRIAA exposes the abuse and folly of RIAA and the recording and movie companies. The site provides commentary, news, articles, and links on the industries and consumer rights, artists contracts, innovation, digital entertainment, and technology.

RIAA is the Recording Industry Association of America, the public face for the monopolistic record companies. RIAA spends huge amounts of money to spin PR, lobby Washington, and engage in various activities demonstrating its power:

• Denying individuals their rights to use the media they own
• Buying one-sided legislation (DMCA)
• Spinning industry fraudulent behavior (price fixing)
• Lying in public (blaming a drop in revenues on file sharing)
• Litigating small tech companies out of business (Napster)
• Leaning on big companies to serve as their private cops
• Damaging public networks (inserting fake files), and
• Stunting innovation.
• Read all about it

The arrogant RIAA treats artists like slaves and customers like criminals, while the industry refuses to deliver what people want - value, selection, quality, and ubiquity. RIAA's heavy-handed efforts alienate consumers and discourage music lovers from becoming fans who spend money. No wonder 50 million Americans download music from file sharing networks.

RIAA has made a huge, filthy, stinking mess. And so we fittingly dedicate this web site, DiaRIAA, as well its second cousin GonoRIAA, to free the music and create a better future for both artists and consumers.
