Now how is this stealing? The listener is recording content that they are *paying* a monthly fee to receive. |

| The RIAA is going to explode.
The RIAA's collective heads will explode into a colorful red fountain any second now.....DRM is half baked and as long as there are really bright people out there, somebody will always figure a way around everything the RIAA types dream up to prevent them from doing so.
Did that make sense outside of my head? |

| Clueless yet again
So they develop a receiver specifically for computers and are shocked that someone taught it to record?! You've got to be kidding me. Cause i'm sure everyone else with the XM PCR bought it because they just needed to have XM available to them at their computer.
RIAA/MPAA/BSA...If it can be played on a device, then it can be copied by a device. Give up.
With all the money spent combating piracy to "protect" the artists and make sure they get their deserved money...the various associations could of just stopped investing in all this anti-piracy crap and used that money to pay the artists (not that paying the artist is/was ever their real intention)
Game makers need to learn this also, you spend millions developing technologies like SafeDisc, SecurRom, Starforce...MILLIONS spent on anti-piracy technologies that are defeated and removed from the game before the game is even available to the general public.
I'm not saying the companies should entirely give up on anti-piracy..but rather hold off their wasteful spending and childish games until they have even the remotest of clues/innovations on how to come up with a protection that can't be cracked within 7 days

Jamaica Plain, MA | Why the fuss?
Isn't it legal to record broadcast content as long as you don't distribute it? How's this different from recording a TV show? Why shoud XM care if nobody's breaking any laws - it's just going to get them more subscribers? |

| Strangely enough TiVo already offers this service
TiVo actually partnered with XM to offer satelite radio through TiVo. See the press release from January.
I'm guessing this guy didn't get the licenses he needed.

Re: Content is paid for
[sarcastic]
Don't you get it yet? You don't "pay" for music content anymore! You pay for the chance to listen to the music content. Whether you like the variety or not, doesn't matter. CD's yup, you guessed it. You simply pay for the chance to listen to it. The CD is yours. You can do what ever you want to with it, but what's on the disc still belongs to the record companies. If you want to listen to the contents of that disk in the house and in the car at the same time, you need to buy two CD's.
You need to be glad the RIAA doesn't have a neuralizer or else they would erase that "tune in your head" so you don't have an illegal copy of it!

Re: Why the fuss?
Do a search under "time shifting." This was the term used by the VCR makers against the MPAA who still want to outlaw the VCR. Even the Supreme Court sided with Sony on this one. |

1 edit |  Rumor!
This is all a rumor still. XMFan is supporting the program which goes violates your TOS when subscribing to XM Satellite Radio.
XM has NOT announced ANYTHING regarding the discontinuation of the product. TimeTrax, the program in question, also has the potential to screw with your computer and mess up it's settings. A few people over at XM411.com have proven that.
Also, the SkyFi 2 also never included USB connectivity, and won't. That decision was not based on this TimeTrax software. XMFan is known for making rumors and supporting shitty products. |

thumbs down from:

| xm411
I wouldn't trust ANYTHING said at XM411.
These guys are against the software yet they raised the price on the PCR in their online store from $39 to $69 while they speak bad of things they are laughing all the way to the bank. |

| where is business going ?
I dont understand the business impact of this, its not file sharing, and you could record directly from on air radio? How does this affect RIAAs profit? except alienate the customer again?

Is XM better then Sirius? I was going to get one but since we are on this topic (somewhat), those who have it what are your thoughts? |

Mobile, AL | I love XM. It's a great service and really passes the time when you're on the road. Sirius doesn't seem to have much of a subscriber base so I doubt they'll be in business much longer. |

This just seems really stupid. It's just easier to just download a song someone wants than to go through the hassle of hacking XM and recording some songs. It's really not that big of a deal. But again, the RIAA are morons. |

If you go to XM's site all of the resellers have the XM PCR out of stock. Then go and search ebay, $200+
