I'm sure the RIAA should be charged with immoral earnings.
Their members employ a lot of drug addicted artists.
Therefore RIAA is funded by immoral earnings.
Unless RIAA can punish their artists and companies with spot
checks of drug abuse in the music and film industry,
just like any other industry (sports, modelling, pilots etc)
and put in a system to withdraw all artists and their material
proven to be created from drug abuse, I just don't
see any future for RIAA.
