A number of independent record labels want to sever their ties with the Recording Industry Association of America. The problem is, they never became members of the association in the first place. The record labels say they were wrongly listed as members on the RIAA Web site. Joel Rose of member station WHYY reports.
JOEL ROSE reporting:
Erin Kelly-Burkett started Fat Wreck Chords in the late 1980s . . .
labels were slightly involved with the RIAA and wished to be removed from The List of members currently associated with them.
