Every so often, we run a story here that shocks me with it's sheer stupidity. My sterio at home has a tape deck on it (remember those?), is the RIAA going to demand that Sony pays them $150,000 in damages for every song someone has recorded with a casette tape? What about the songs they could potentially record with a casette tape? What the HELL man?!?
"XM defended itself by saying that music stored on the device cannot be moved elsewhere and only lasts as long as a customer is a subscriber." There you go, It's not like I can take it off the Inno and put it online. Grow up guys, this shit is getting old.
