(Recording Industry Association of America, Washington, DC, www.riaa.com.) A membership association of music recording companies. Its goal is to promote the record label industry and protect the rights of copyright owners. It was a major contributor to the SDMI digital distribution system. Spanning decades, RIAA's Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond awards for successful albums are coveted marks of achievements by musical artists. The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) is the European affiliate to RIAA (www.ifpi.org). http://www.answers.com/topic/riaa?cat=technology

Who is the RIAA?

RIAA is responsible from all Gold, Platinum and Diamond recording awards, based completely on sales. Actually RIAA awards are not based on sales - they never have been. They are based on royalties paid to the performer. ANY record company will say that their performer sold 10,000,000 copies - as several companies have done this! But when it comes to paying for those royalties - they provide NO proof whatsoever!!!
