I tried to get numbers on the RIAA and MPAA. I didn't go deep enough to get specific employee counts from RIAA and MPAA companies, so most often I went a level up to parent companies. There's a lot of overlap. It also gets murky quick when you try to decide whether a job is destroyed, created, or moved. So this was a lot of wasted time because first we'd need to agree on a methodology for measuring this stuff, and that's a hard thing to do. MPAA The Walt Disney Company 156,000 Time Warner 32,000 General Electric 287,000 Comcast 102,000 News Corporation 51,000 Viacom 10,900 Sony 168,200 RIAA Big 4 Citigroup (!) 260,000 Vivendi 54,560 Total: 1,121,660
