Answer:

Explanation:

RIAA is constantly fighting online piracy and trying to keep the track with new, envolving pirate thefts. One of the ways is by using digital fingerprints.

These digital fingerprints are located in the special RIAA library used to identify music files shared online. The goal of these fingertips is to separate illegally downloaded versions of MP3 from the ones that have been copied from the CDs.

This is done by the special software that has all of the RIAA's files in the database. When the fingerprint doesn't match, it passes special control by another program or invastigator (a live person).

RIAA is attempting to automatically block transmission of these illegal copies on the Internet. So far, when the fingerprints don't match, RIAA sends a letter asking for song removal or, in more serious cases, a "prelitigation settlement letter" that can end up with a lawsuit and expensive punishment.
