Homegrown satellite radio software draws XM fire

] The software, TimeTrax, also neatly arranged the individual
] songs from the concert, complete with artist name and song
] title information, into MP3 files
] A spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of
] America said his organization had not reviewed the
] software, but said that in principle it was disturbed by
] the idea. "We remain concerned about any devices or
] software that permit listeners to transform a broadcast
] into a music library,"
RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy said.

How fucked up is this? They want us to build a music library as long as the grainularity we do it at is $20 dollar a pop CDs, but any other way is forbidden? The RIAA seems to be jumping on the (very bad IMHO) train of anti-ownership. You don't own anything you buy! You are leasing it, or renting it, or whatever the fuck. Its the original DIVX all over again. Suddenly its totally illegal to do anything to "own" or keep a copy in anyway.

How the hell did we let this happen?
