When I ran boycott-riaa.com, We printed the entire list on the website, and had about 10 labels contact us about it. They denied they were RIAA labels, And we told them they were listed on the RIAA website. Neeedless to say they were mortified to be associated with the RIAA and as I recall it took phone calls, faxes, emails and in a case ot two threats of lawsuits to get them to remove the independent label from the RIAA database. It seemed every time the RIAA updated their website, they reappeared in the list. This could be how your friends label got listed.

They list Inside Out Music as safe, while Inside Out UK and Inside Out US aren't? Also a friend of mine runs a record label I KNOW for a fact he's not RIAA and he's still listed as an RIAA site. I think they still have alot of work to do;-) HMMM, this database is REALLY flawed. They list Inside Out Music as safe, while Inside Out UK and Inside Out US aren’t?
