They were doing this before the Washington law. It has to do with federal regulations, not specific state legislation. XM and Sirius are not as regulated by the FCC, which also means they can broadcast Stern and Opie and Anthony with all the cursing.

IIRC there was some serious litigation at the federal level over this. I think one of the sports magazines got in some hot water for advertising a .com site. I'm not at work now, so I can't look it up, but the end result was a huge fine and no more advertising of .coms. Now all the media insists on advertising .net sites.
