Besides, I can record videos off of MTV/radio, and those are distributed

dutifully passed out to "Select Marketing Partners" anyway.

However, if their songs are streaming, and XM has no way of tracking if, when, or how often you are converting a streamed song to mp3....how would they track and pay royalties?
