Does the RIAA make any money from online music stores like itunes ?

Is I tunes a legit place to download music? I would think that if I tunes is a legal method of downloading music, part of the fee would go to paying them off in some way.

I would assume so, considering they allow it...why would those greedy bastards let it happen if it hurt their business?

The RIAA allows nothing. They are simply the gophers for record companies. iTunes and all these other groups simply contact copyright holders and negotiate these deals. RIAA is a lobbying/interest group, nothing more. So no, they dont make money from online music.
