Inno was the reason I got XM

Inno is very cool. Let's you record songs, although you can't export them. Record industry is only trying to exploit and take advantage of XM.

Shouldn't the headline say copyright instead of patent.

A minor issue, but there is a difference.


Universal isn't above claiming rights they don't have. The music industry has been trying to assert rights not granted by copyright for years with DRM and lawsuits for outrageous amounts of money. The labels through the RIAA sued a university student for writing search engine that displayed results based on files people had shared on the college network because it could be used to find music.

The article doesn't mention if anyone who already owns this device will see any changes or not. They settled the suit, but what does that mean for the consumer? Maybe I missed it.
