MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Pioneer InnoThe war rages on between Record Labels and Satellite Radio, with XM’s new Inno service facing scrutiny. The mini satellite radio player includes a feature that allows subscribers to permanently record up to 50 hours of songs. XM’s Inno is like the TiVo for radio, with the recordings exclusive to the player and not transferable to other mediums as well as no longer available once the subscriber discontinues service. This new service has led record labels to file a federal lawsuit against XM, claiming “massive wholesale infringement,� and asking for $150,000 in damages for every song saved on one of these players. Perhaps these lawsuits will temporarily band-aid the labels’ financial hemorrhage, but it certainly isn’t fixing the problem.
