RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everyday-evil dept.

skayell writes "The RIAA is suing XM Satellite radio contending that the ability to store songs in memory makes it similar to an iPod, but with no income involved for the RIAA." From the article: "XM said it will vigorously defend this lawsuit on behalf of consumers and also called the lawsuit a bargaining tactic. [...] The labels are currently in talks with XM and its rival Sirius Satellite Radio, to renegotiate digital royalty contracts for broadcasts."

    why do uninformed commments or profound replies get modded higher than technically correct ones?

      I get moderator points from time to time, as I do now. And I try to take those whole whopping 5 points very seriously. Unfortunately, I can't mod in a thread I have posted in, but I do try to keep an eye out for those who actually add valuable information to a thread.

      Sarcasm and trolling is always abundant. I try to use my points to help good comments rise above the rest.

    You need to change your sig. Infinity and Infinity+1 are the same thing.
