If the distribution of a song or a partial song it's a violation of the artist author rights, then the RIAA is doing something illegal, distributing the screeching mp3, that has parts of the original song, am I wrong?

the riaa own the copyrights of the songs
they can do with their property as they please
true, but if they sued me, I will use it against them

Just like cops, they can't do anything with prisioners
we have no case, case closedQuote:

cough, cough
The RIAA doesn't own anything.
They represent the companies that do.
I'm sure they have full legal permission to make screechy MP3s.
Good luck with your legal defence.
the riaa owns the copyrights for the intellectual property (i.e. songs) of the bands/acts it represents...Quote:

The RIAA doesn't represent any artists.
The RIAA is the industry mouthpiece for the actual media companies- Sony, Virgin, RCA, etc.
hmmm...this sounds like a matter of definitionQuote:

Ya think?
You said that the RIAA "owns" copyrights.
They don't.
The clients that they front for own everything.
Maybe it is just nitpicking, but that is the basis of the law, isn't it?
is it not true though, that the riaa does actually manage some of the artists it represents?
Are you not reading me?
The RIAA represents zero artists, records zero music and owns zero copyrights.
The RIAA is a bunch of lawyers who are paid by the record companies ( who actually do all of the above mentioned) to represent them.
The thugs who are serving subpoenas and harrassing filesharers probably don't even know who eminem is.
youre allowed to use a certain amount of time (like 30 seconds or something) of a song without permission
@kurdt: You're allowed to listen to a piece of a song if and when it's made available through the artists site. Using it is something completely different and is, as far as I know, still illegal.
ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country has done for you! Sharing your favourite music with the rest of the world is a loving thing.
The mp3s they share are 100% screechy.
