what were u guys expecting? People let themselves get too excited.
Brandon is going to really screw up big time if he publishes the article that Sirius will lose subs in '09. His calculations are way off and he needs to understand the facts a little better before making a fool of himself.
sound exchange can audit one time yearly and it requires they inform the copyright royalty board of their intent to do so.
when the new rates were set sound exchange tried to appeal the ruling from the crb it was denied they are pursuing legal action as you can see from the information below via broadcastlawblog

Dates Set for Oral Arguments on Web casting and Satellite Radio Appeals Of Copyright Royalty Board Decisions[/URL]
The oral argument on the Web casting appeal of the March 2007 Copyright Royalty Board decision setting Internet radio sound recording royalty rates for 2006-2010 has now been set for March 19. So, if no settlement under the Webcaster Settlement Act (about which we wrote here) is reached before the February 15 deadline set out in that act, the case will go on to the argument, though apparently without NPR, which benefits from the settlement that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has reached with SoundExchange. Even with a settlement with all of the webcasters, SoundExchange is still being challenged by Royalty Logic, which wants to be an alternative collection agency for music royalties, so the case will probably go forward. Royalty Logic is the party which raised the issue of whether the Copyright Royalty Board was properly appointed under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, an issue that looks to invalidate the entire CRB decision. Even thought the Court's argument will be held in March, a final decision will likely not be released for several months after the argument.
The royalty case that resulted in the much lower royalties for Sirius XM is also scheduled for argument in March, the week after the webcasters case. That decision, about which we wrote here, was decided under the 801(b) standard, which takes into account not only the perceived economic value of the music (the "willing buyer, willing seller" standard used in the webcasting case), but also factors involving the public's interest in receiving music, and the impact on the industry that the royalties will have. If these cases both go forward, after hearing them in short order, the US Court of Appeals will become the center of the digital music royalty world - at least for a short period of time. Watch for more as these cases develop
The start of what ?Originally Posted by RMAN
With the grim news from GM and the grim news from China (no stimulus package for them, from their government) looks like the DJIA is going to head down again, taking SIRI with it, I suppose.
OH, I am a newb to these forums, and yes, I have investment with SIRI.

I would guess it is wishful thinking on SiriusXMinvestor's part. Pay no attention to it. He seems to hate Mel & Co. and seems to identify with the Hartleib crowd.
Hey Banana,
Between yesterday and today both on CNBC and FBN it was said THREE times that when the dust clears "there will be a lot of people wearing orange suits". Mel will be one of them.
I believe that THEY (CNBC) said "there will be a lot of people wearing orange suits". YOU said Mel would be one of them. CORRECT?
I did not say his name was mentioned. It was my opinion that Mel will be one of them wearing an orange suit. And yes I am part of the Hartlieb group. And yes we know Mel has done criminal damage to this company.
