Misleading title. Pay RIAA $3.3 millions.

Not paying artists.

Based on the article that's not accurate. The article states:

"The RIAA’s claim totals $1,247,719.76 and is based on falsely claimed music of hundreds of artists."

The rest of the ~$3.3M in claims were made by other artists/labels.

The RIAA exists to collect copyright royalties on behalf of artists...That $3.3 million will make its way to the artists eventually.
