Music Monday: RIAA CEO earns $3 million salary for suing evil downloaders

In case you're wondering why the RIAA has to go around suing grandmothers for downloading music, it may have something to do with the annual $3 million-plus the record industry trade group pays its CEO.

In addition to big chief Cary Sherman's multimillionaire lifestyle, the RIAA supported its staff of executives, lobbyists and minions in 2009 with a reported $16.2 million in "salaries, other compensation, and employee benefits."

Thank goodness the RIAA is tax-exempt! That way, none of these precious funds are diverted toward our government's wasteful expenditures on U.S. highway safety, disaster recovery and other frivolities.

So pay up, grandma, it's the right thing to do!

How many of the RIAA Lawyers including the CEO and also every person in the world including the Presidents of the United states Have in the past used a tape Recorder to Record A song off the Radio , Or off a friends Record???????????? I bet all of them have. So lets Sue the President of The United States , The Homeland Security, The Military, And Just about Everyone In the United states. Cause we all know that RIAA is nothing But a hypercritical Bunch of thieves just like the Mob. Only legalized by the Federal and supreme court. We might as well arrest all the Judges and Cops too Cause Most if not all of them have done it too.
