RIAA sues XM Radio

XMRadio is being sued by the RIAA over a new class of digital devices that allow recording of digital radio programming to a handheld device for listening at a later time. Essentially, the RIAA is claiming that by allowing users to not only LISTEN to songs, but also PLAY THEM LATER they are due an extra cut of royalties and XM profits. XM has stated that they will defend their rights "vigorously" in the lawsuit. They had better, or else the iPod will truly become the only method of distributing digital music.

One must wonder if the RIAA would sue individuals for playing songs in their minds from memory, if they could figure out a way to do so.
