For some reason I get the impression the RIAA is not going after everyone who's ever dowloaded and shared the music of Red Delicious. Let the band sign a wavier saying their music is free for the taking. Let's see how successful they become as everyone downloads and distributes their music without remuneration to the songwriters and performers.
Some artists and labels, however, understand the purpose and benefits of copyright laws. The RIAA seeks to assist them in preventing the unauthorized duplication and distribution of their music.
