CRIA, RIAA, and the other so-called “national” Recording Industry Associations are controlled by the same 4 transnational labels that do not have the domestic interests of any nations musicians at heart. While one of these labels claims USA as their home, none of them claim Canada as their home.

Whether or not CRIA is “American” is legitimately debatable, just as whether or not the RIAA is “American” is legitimately debatable.

What is clear is that there is nothing Canadian about CRIA.

While I totally agree that the music industry needs a wake up call, the idea that the music industry is based in America is far from the truth. One of 4 is, the rest are as foriegn to us as it is to you.

There is some speculation that Warner may not be American for much longer with merger threating to take care of that.

Tell me, are there any labels based in Canada? Nope. All the CRIA is doing is being an RIAA, doing what they ask. They are indeed the CRIAA.

Hi,

I really wish you would stop calling CRIA the Canadian Recording Industry Association of America. It is the Canadian Recording Industry Association.

I realise you think you are being clever, but it only serves to embarass you.
