Legal affairs and content protection encompasses both the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights for record companies and copyright owners. Content protection and enforcement operations include online and physical measures to combat music piracy, addressing unauthorized distribution and the manufacture and sale of counterfeit sound recordings. The majority of expenditures in this area are related to litigation costs incurred by RIAA in representing members and pursuing enforcement actions in civil court. In addition, legal affairs provide counsel to RIAA members, lead statutory license negotiations for the industry, and support the integration of technology objectives through specialized projects, analyses, and studies, ensuring the continued protection and advancement of the recording industry's interests.
