"Industry Applies More Pressure on Satellite Radio
The RIAA is now reportedly applying more pressure on leading satellite providers XM and Sirius. The industry trade group is continuing to ask tough questions about a new breed of satellite devices that allow users to store large amounts of live content, and is also said to be seeking a renegotiation on its initial royalty agreements. One of the devices being placed under the microscope is the Sirius S50, slated to hit stores later this month. That device cannot receive satellite reception on-the-go, but it can store up to 50 hours of satellite radio content for access later. "The music industry is an important partner, and we continue to listen to their concerns in hopes of finding a resolution that benefits everyone, especially consumers," said XM spokesman Nathaniel Brown in a recent Reuters report.
The conflict comes just as satellite radio is gaining meaningful market traction. While the format was once considered an interesting possibility, significant subscriber jumps over the last several quarters have transformed that outlook. The key issue in the upcoming negotiation will be just how much time-shifting can be considered fair use, an area that is decidedly gray at this point. For the satellite industry, which is used to pushing a boulder uphill, the latest conflict is probably being viewed as a manageable challenge. For Sirius, which is yet to release a true wearable, the discussions could push the timetable on a more advanced device."
Só que isto está a criar problemas com os direitos de autor e os ganhos das editoras discográficas:
"The record industry may next aim its legal guns at satellite radio over a dispute involving new portable players that let listeners record and store songs, an analyst and industry sources said Wednesday.
The record industry, led by major labels such as Vivendi Universal (Research), Warner Music Group Corp. (Research), EMI Group Plc and Sony BMG, believe the recording capability is a clear copyright violation and could take revenue away from paid download music services." (via CNN)
