I know how you programming folk like music, and I believe there
may be "support the little guys, not the corporations"
people in here too. So I created the script that takes a directory as an argument,
and then checks all the folders using the RIAA Radar database.
The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to
easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was
released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Sample output:
Morcheeba -- Safe: 3 Warning: 7
Moby -- Safe: 6 Warning: 4

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use IO::Socket;

$somedir = $ARGV[0];

opendir DH, $somedir or die "Cannot open $somedir: $!";
my @files = grep { !-d } readdir DH;
closedir DH;

foreach $word (@files) {

    $flag    = 0;
    $safecou = 0;
    $warcou  = 0;
    @split   = split( / /, $word );
    $join    = join( '+', @split );

    $getexp = IO::Socket::INET->new(
        PeerAddr => 'www.riaaradar.com',
        PeerPort => '80',
        Proto    => 'tcp',
        Timeout  => '100'
    ) || print "Error: Connection\n";

    print $getexp
      "GET /search.asp?searchtype=ArtistSearch&keyword=$join HTTP/1.0\
+n";
    print $getexp "Host: www.riaaradar.com\n\n";

    while ( $exp = <$getexp> ) {
        if ( $exp =~ m/No results were found/ ) { $flag = 1; }

        #print "Artist: $1\n" if $exp =~ m/name="artist" value="(.*?)"
+ \/>/;
        #print "Album: $1\n" if $exp =~ m/name="album" value="(.*?)" \
+/>/;
        #print "Result: $1\n\n" if $exp =~ m/name="result" value="(.*?
+)" \/>/;
        if ( $exp =~ m/name="result" value="Warning" \/>/ ) { $warcou 
++= 1; }
        elsif ( $exp =~ m/name="result" value="Safe" \/>/ ) { $safecou
+ += 1; }
    }
    print "$word -- Safe: $safecou Warning: $warcou\n" if $flag != 1;
