Could the RIAA Just Disappear? 114
BlueMerle writes "Ars Technica is running a story about how EMI is disappointed with RIAA and ultimately they (RIAA) may disappear. 'Is the RIAA as we know it about to disappear? As rumors continue to swirl that EMI will pull its funding from music trade groups like the RIAA and IFPI, an IFPI spokesman tells Ars that the group is in the middle of a major internal review of its operations.'" I wouldn't bet the farm just yet.

I believe the RIAA represents them collectively in major things, while on the little things its the individual members.
Examples:
RIAA vs XM / Sirius / MP3.com / Random MP3 Player maker
Sony vs 90 Year Old Woman
Warner vs Mountain Hermit
EMI vs 10 year old girl

Huh, and here I was thinking the RIAA was supposed to be a standards body promulgating a common equalization curve for grooved recordings. Will wonders never cease.

Neither the RIAA nor the IFPI has any jurisdiction anywhere, since they are not parts of the justice system (police and courts).
