Most of you are probably already aware of this, but in case you’re not, here’s a spiffy service where you can check whether an album you’re interested in was produced by a member label of the RIAA. Why does it matter? Well, because there are alternatives to the monster that is the RIAA, terrific labels and artists who aren’t part of the conglomerate that engages in price fixing/price gouging, files frivolous copyright infringement lawsuits, shafts their own artists, and villainizes a music-loving public. So throw your money their way, don’t give it to the extortionists at the RIAA.
