Absolutely Kosher has been listed on the RIAA website since 2005 as a distributed label of a reporting member (Fontana, the label's distributor). However, the label is not itself a member, and neither pay dues nor corresponds with the RIAA.

On September 20, 2011 a statement from Cory Brown was placed on the label's website informing people that the label would cease to release any more records for the foreseeable future due to financial difficulties.[1][2]

gollark: Make sure to not leave it too long or it'll disassemble itself into yeast and... bread... components.
gollark: Cool.
gollark: The general lesson is probably something like "magically be likeable and you can get away with anything ever".
