Did you read the article? It doesn't mention anything about FM radios being
banned. It does mention a particular FM radio will no longer allow
recording of an FM stream (once users apply a firmware upgrade).

Only the creator your God can answer that one.
Expect an answer to your question in about 10,000 years time.

In some ways, this is only of note because it affects the US - some DAPs
which have FM radios built in already have different firmware for use
in EU, and recording from FM is disabled. Sansa do this, I'm sure that
others will also.

I wonder why the RIAA would think such recording is a threat - the Sansa
e200 records mono at 32Kb/s, as a wav file, for example, so you aren't
even getting anything like the original FM quality.

I'd suggest the manufacturers had already accommodated any concerns the
RIAA might have had by deliberately reducing the quality of recording in
that fashion, but apparently that isn't enough for the RIAA. They seem
to be totally inflexible and dogmatic in their view of how things will be.
