XM Court Filing Against RIAA Lawsuit

I read about 5 pages of that. Good way of explaining what the Inno can and can't do and basically calls the RIAA dumb for trying to sue them.

XM is fighting on two fronts....one in court with the RIAA and one battle in congress while the RIAA backs a law to punish XM/Sirius by enacting larger royalty fees.

The RIAA are a bunch of extortionists.

The RIAA claims to be "all about the artists", yet I have yet to see them do something that supports artists airplay and recognition. Particularly in the digital age of SDARS, where artists get MORE exposure and airplay than any FM channel could hope to do.

Here's RIAA's new slogan:
RIAA, stifeling innovation and artist exposure every chance we get!

" I just am optimistic that there will be a settlement. I think this doesn't rise to the level of court precedent and legal precedent and frankly, I think if the court case continued, the record companies would lose. " - Hillary Rosen, Former head of the RIAA
