Please take a look at the following tool called riaa-radar
This is a great tool which can be used to determine if a CD you want to purchase is from an RIAA artist.
Why is it important to know if an album was released by an RIAA member or not?
That's possibly a fairly long answer, but just the highlights
of the RIAA's practices involve price-fixing, blaming its poor
financial state on unfounded digital piracy claims (and in turn,
blaming and suing its own consumers), lobbying for changes that hinder
technological innovation and change copyright laws, underpaying the
artists it represents, invading personal privacy to enforce copyrights,
and dismantling entire computer networks just because of their ability (of their users) to share copyrighted files. (Feel free to visit the RIAA and Boycott-RIAA.com to learn more!)
In order to successfully and efficiently support who you like (or not
support who you don't like), you need to have information immediately
available to know who is who. The RIAA Radar works in two ways: if
you're looking to stop buying RIAA releases, it will help tell you what
albums to avoid (or purchase secondhand); if you are looking for new
music or new alternatives, it works to promote non-RIAA releases by
providing similar RIAA-free albums to almost any RIAA release, and
RIAA-free popularity charts for several genres in order to showcase
viable alternatives.
