RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio

The RIAA has taken a break from its busy schedule of suing the elderly, single parents and children long enough to file a lawsuit against XM Satellite Radio. The lawsuit is over the XM Inno that allows user to record up to 50 songs they hear on XM radio…you know, that service they pay money for. This ought to be interesting.

The federal lawsuit, filed in New York by the largest labels, accuses XM Satellite of "massive wholesale infringement" because its $400 handheld "Inno" device can record hours of music and automatically parse recordings by song and artist. The device is sold under the slogan, "Hear it, click it, save it."
