In February 2012, the company won the support of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). According to Far Further president [[John Styll]], they gained the RIAA support after a strong competition with other parties who responded to the association's RFI process. Styll said, ''"The RIAA put together a loose coalition of organizations from sectors from around the world and ran a pretty intensive RFI process."<ref>[http://domainincite.com/riaa-backs-music-new-gtld-bid/ RIAA backs .music new gTLD bid]</ref> Thus, Far Further was able to demonstrate to the RIAA that it has strong intellectual property rights protections and policies. RIAA has been vocal on this issue. The association previously wrote to the [[DOC|United States Department of Commerce]] (DOC) requesting the implementation of  "heightened security measures" for the .music gTLD. <ref>[http://domainincite.com/big-content-calls-for-government-new-gtld-oversight/ Big Content calls for government new gTLD oversight]</ref>
