It would seem that over in the states Major Labels are up in arms again and this time are suing the XM Satellite Radio over some time-shifting device. Apparently Doc Brown & Marty deny that they used the Delorian to go back to 1955 at all and that playing Chuck Berry before it was actually written is a breach of copyright and that  it is their track and that they are due 51 years of missed royalities.

Well no, but XM Satellite Radio has recently-released the time-shifting Pioneer Inno. The device offers satellite receptivity and the ability to store 50 hours of broadcast content in a 1GB drive. Recorded tracks can then be accessed on-demand, as long as the user maintains a subscription to XM. Also the device allows consumers port 512MB of audio files from the hard drives onto a portable device.

"The service transforms XM's satellite transmission from a radio broadcast to a digital download delivery service that provide subscribers with permanent copies of individual songs," the complaint reads.

So there you go... Tech is still fancy.
