The RIAA is going to use it to keep tabs on how many illegal mp3s we've been listening to.
And how exactly is RIAA going to do that on the basis of recorded tapes? Firstly they would have to recognise that you are hearing music in MP3-format (not an impossible task - sound waves get distorted when converted to MP3, but to register that, the bitrate of the recording in the watch would be very high). Secondly - how are they going to prove the MP3s were illegal?
