Sounds like exactly my experience over the years...  One problem is they
use 3rd parties.  Finally last year I collected all the source email
addresses for RIAA and any one else who had contacted me from all the
notices I'd received in the last 5 years and made a distribution list and
started banging on them until someone replied.  (Didn't take long to get a
reply and a reprimand like "you're not supposed to email us back at these
addresses.  Once I removed all the duplicates, they were call coming from
2 or 3 companies at most.  Most of them were contracted by different
agencies like Disney, HBO, etc.

If anyone can clue me in on how to actually get a hold of a person at the
RIAA I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe Steve Worona checked w the RIAA and there was a mail server
issue which was cleared releasing complaints that had accumulated over a
week or so. Look at the time stamp of when the files were found; I saw
some from 9/20 and 9/21.

No, we got about 15 and we got five emails (notices) for the same song/ip
address. A few were accurate.
