>>> What prevents you from transferring a digital song out of an XM recorder and sharing it with millions of people worldwide without paying the RIAA its pound of flesh? If you don't know about the subject why do you persist in trying to talk about it as though you know what you're talking about? Perhaps that's the problem -- the judge didn't know anymore about it than you do, I guess. You cannot move content digitally from any XM device to any other device. Period, end of story. No digital copies. And in fact, you cannot even access your recorded music without an active subscription to the service. This is fair use. No two ways about it. >>> Remember the Sirius USB PC adaptor that was hacked to save digital songs with track name, artist, and MP3 tags? I've not heard anything about this. However, there is no report of anything like this occurring with XM's hardware. XM says their device cannot be hacked and there is no known incidence of it occurring. It would not surprise me if a Sirius device could be, as they were thrown together pretty rapidly. Again, why don't you do your homework first THEN speak in a condescending manner, rather than the other way around?
