RIAA importance!

The Recording Association of America is an organization that was created to help companies and businesses in the music industry. Created in 1952, to assist musicians and record labels in administering and monitoring music within the industry RIAA, as since grown into a needed and wanted association in the music industry. According to RIAA's mission it represents record labels and distributors who " create, manufacture and/or distribute 85% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States." This is a vital organization for BCB entertainment because we distribute music, we record music so it important to have a support system in the music industry.

Two key vocal points that this organization contributes is protecting artists rights and monitoring laws and regulations in the music industry. This is very important for BCB entertainment because we assist the artist with production and we want t make sure no uncertified sound bits or illegally distributed productions are released. RIAA protects artist rights by creating Anti-Piracy boards that penalize and confiscate those who illegally download music. What this means for music industry personnel is that more business ventures will open up as illegal downloading declines. The impact RIAA has on the music industry with its organizations and groups that monitor laws and regulations in the music industry are tremendous. Artist rights are important but many times because they just entertain they are not aware of the for ever changing rules and regulations on publishing and distribution.

Furthermore, RIAA board members consist of record label CEO's and chairman therefore they is a direct connection and involvement from each parties. This also allows a better understanding of the entire association for the members because they have significant members of their business or company actively involved in the association. It is important to have an association such as this for BCB entertainment because again when dealing with artist, production and distribution you need a balance to make sure all of you T's have been crossed. Not only that, protection is needed for the artist as well as for the company so RIAA provides the protect and does the research when you may not have the time to sit and do it all yourself. The association is like an added member to your companies team that you will always need.

TED.com blog ( Do you love what you do? By Gay Vaynerchuk

As soon as I played the video by speaker Gray Vaynerchuk entitled Do you Love What you do, I felt his energy and compassion. The video was pretty much a motivational speech challenging others to do what they love just as Vaynerchuck did by overcoming adversity from working seven years in a liquor store to owning his own company and television show called Wine Library T.V. This speech really inspired me because sometimes we as humans need a push from someone else before we actually do what makes us happy. It inspired me because at times I get frustrated because things don't move as fast as I'd like so I doubt my situation. But Vaynerchuck preaches passion and patience in his speech the two things you need to succeed at doing what you love. Although many things Vaynerchuck discussed in his speech I had  grew familiar with but he reiterated them and give a lot more reassurance with his story telling. For example,  he told stories of how he  worked several jobs and time was limited but during the night between 7pm to 2am in the morning he found a way to work on his craft and what he loved. This definitely helped me to stop procrastinating  and making excuses because when you're doing what you love you always find time to do it. Vaynerchuck has really helped me to believe in myself and made me realize you only get one life so you might as well spend it doing what you love. It may not be easy and you may not reap the bearing from the beginning but eventually it will come. Here the link to the outstanding speech by TED.com Gary Vaynerchuck.
