Label Vs RIAA

punkbands reports: The cast of characters include an indie label, a major record company, the Recording Industry Association of America and the industry bible Billboard.

The RIAA's stated policy is that only the "authorized record company" can purchase RIAA award plaques. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
