Record Labels Sue XM Satellite Over Inno

published on May 17th, 2006 . by joe

Well, it looks like the fine folks at the RIAA, who became famous for suing 13 year old girls for tens of thousands of dollars, have now decided to go after the greedy folks at XM Satellite Radio for selling a device that records music off of the radio.  They are apparently seeking $150,000 per individual song recorded.  Do they really think a bad Coldplay song recorded off of the radio (even if it is digital) is worth $150,000 per copy?  This is why I don’t buy music from RIAA labels anymore.
