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 was originally raised by four Oregon residents in June 2024, alleging 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) and breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing.
- SiriusXM filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in April 2025, citing two reasons:
- the lawsuit was filed too late
- it should be denied as moot because SiriusXM has since changed its advertising practices with respect to the royalty fee
SiriusXM now includes “all-in pricing” on all advertisements to conform with a new California law.
Author's note: SiriusXM faces a class action lawsuit over alleged hidden fees.
