The RIAA will lobby congress to prohibit the broadcasting of copyrighted material, as well as the tech sector to build radios that explode if they are tuned to digital copyrighted material. At least this will be the end of their tirade against P2P. When you can pull digital music straight out of the air who cares anymore? -- If a things worth doing, its worth doing to excess
I think people are forgetting that with digital signalling formats comes greater potential for control. The RIAA could just as easily lobby for radios with digital rights management. To listen, just stick your credit card into the slot and get gouged.
Don't get me wrong, being an XM user I'm a big fan of digital radio. But the possibilities also concern me greatly.

Long as the RIAA palms are greased by the sat companies, i see no problem with them.
