XM Satellite Radio asked a federal judge Monday to throw out a copyright lawsuit by the recording industry over the company's new iPod-like device, the $400 handheld "Inno." XM Satellite claims the suit is barred by a 1992 law that bans some copyright claims based on digital music recordings made for private use. The lawsuit accuses XM Satellite of "massive wholesale infringement" because the new gadget can record hours of music and automatically organize recordings by song and artist.
