Is there a list of authors or songs or albums protected by RIAA and up to date? Where can I find that list?

It's not a matter of artists being "protected" by the RIAA. The artists are protected by copyright laws (which applies to ALL music artists). The RIAA just tries to enforce the laws that are already in place.

And...

The Recording Industry Association of America (or RIAA) is a trade group that represents the recording industry in the United States. Its members consist of a large number of private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, which the RIAA claims "create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States.". The RIAA represents the vast majority of music sold in the US.
