SiriusXM Bid to Drop Class Action Lawsuit Over Hidden Fees Fails
A federal judge has refused to throw out a class action lawsuit against SiriusXM, which accuses the satellite broadcaster of hiding a 21.4% “U.S. Music Royalty Fee” from subscribers.
The lawsuit, originally raised by four Oregon residents in June 2024, alleges that SiriusXM engaged in a deceptive pricing scheme, falsely advertising its music plans at lower prices than it actually charged.
- The plaintiffs assert that SiriusXM violated Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act (UTPA).
- They also claim that the broadcaster breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing.
SiriusXM filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in April 2025, arguing that the lawsuit was filed too late and that it should be denied as moot because the company has since changed its advertising practices.
SiriusXM has since changed its advertising practices with respect to the royalty fee, now including “all-in pricing” on all advertisements to conform with a new California law.
Author's summary: Judge refuses to dismiss lawsuit against SiriusXM over hidden fees.
