XM faces legal action from the RIAA - The Digital Music Weblog
> Although usually such good friends, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Satellite radio provider XM have just fallen out over a new portable digital music player and they’re airing their dirty laundry in public with a multi-million dollar law suit.
They’re fighting over a new device launched by XM which allows a user to save a song aired over the radio for later listening. The RIAA has sued XM for $150,000 per song downloaded to the device which amounts to quite a bit of money. Hopefully XM won’t sette and this goes to court, but that’s not very likely.
