The recording industry on Tuesday sued XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., alleging its Inno device that can store music infringes on copyrights and transforms a passive radio experience into the equivalent of a digital download service like iTunes.

enough is enough when you have to pay a licence fee for whistling a song. All you can do is write a letter to congress beging them to get off their asses and update copyrite and pattent law, because things are only going to get worse as long as the existing ones stay in place.

Screw the RIAA and screw the MPAA. I'll never buy another Sony product after the deal with thier installing MalWare on my PC to prevent me from copying something I LEGALLY bought to a device I own. This is a battle, make no mistake. The RIAA and the MPAA want your money, no matter how luddite it makes our society. Blu-Ray and it's new ghestapo-esque DRM scheme as set the digital media genre back 10 years.
