>>> The RIAA still considers it theft of copyrighted material without an agreement in plac What the RIAA thinks isn't determinative. The law is what controls it, and the judge's decision related to the right of the plaintiff to have it heard in court, and nothing beyond this. If XM chooses to fight this, it certainly appears they should win if one reads the two companies' filings. But as with any kind of civil action, whether you want to fight a lawsuit is a matter of dollars and cents, and I'm not sure it is financially in XM's interest to fight at this point, given the apparent lack of importance of the recording capability in these devices. It is also doubtful it is worth SIRI's while to pay the additional fees for the limited recording capability THEY offer. I do expect XM will make the right decision with a lot more information than you and I have as to what their future plans are.
