According to the most knowledgeable person I know of on the subject, recording a broadcast (digital or analog) is clearly within the meaning of "fair use".

I couldn't agree more.. You can hook up a recording device to the analog audio output of your Sat Radio and record anything you want. Just as you can do that with HD Radio and traditional AM/FM Radio.

And these devices do not allow any form of serial copying.

Sure they do.. They make an exact serial copy of the content transmitted by XM.

Because a District Court judge doesn't comprehend it, well, that's an annoyance.

I let's see.. Who should we side with.. The smartest person David Ray from nowhere Arkansas knows. Or a District Court judge??

LOL!! Let's face it. If this person was so smart.. They should have been telling you the same things I have been telling you over the last 4 years.

I just don't know that the recording capability in these devices is proving to be worth the fight.

It's not the "recording capability" that is at issue. It is the type of recording that they are providing

And so it goes,

Are you a lawyer? I know you're an expert on everything else, but I really wasn't sure whether the law was within your expertise or not...

LOL!! Well one thing we KNOW FOR SURE..

Your expertize is not in Law. LOL!!

The FCC "investigation" is over and handled. The shareholder suit will fall apart as soon as the attorneys (or their plaintiffs, if they can find one) have to start spending money. The FTC "investigation" is not going anywhere. What, exactly, are you referring to?

Yup!! This guy has a real pulse on the legal procedures.
