RIAA Up To Shenanigans Again
Record labels sue XM over portable device
It seems that the RIAA is just whining because they are losing money because they are clinging to an outdated business model. Somebody needs to tell them that if you can hear it, you can record it. Hell, I can go to XM's web site and stream any of their channels and have my computer record the sound. Are they complaining about that? Not yet. They are just going after the people with the cash. $150k per song- give me a break! Seriously, I have had a stereo for 10 years that can record over-the-air radio to tape. How is that different from recording from a paid service? Is digital inherently evil?
