Absolutely nothing new. MP3s of his radio show have been available on USENET for years.
I think they are surprised that the shows are available right after he signs off....of course, that is the nature of the internet these days.
Again, nothing new. The shows posted on USENET were usually broken up into chunks. Each chunk was about 45 minutes or so. The chunks were posted as they were encoded meaning that most of the show was already online before the show was finished. Of course since it was USENET there was a slight delay in downloading it depending on your provider.
In the driveway? I didn't think his hard core fans (adolescent 12 to 14 year old boys and those of a like mind) have driver's licenses.
geez..
He needs to bow and scrape a bit more to the FCC to make me happy.
Pardon me but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahoy, why steal Stern? Ye'll ne'er get me buried booty!
Arrrrrr!
But then innocent children would be able to hear his show. You don't want that, do you?
Sirius mad the biggest tactical mistake ever relying on this baffoon and his fan base to hit them a home run.... I definately would put my money on XM in the satellite radio business long term.... these guys just burned billions
Ahoy, stern sucks Gar, Where can I find a bottle o'rum, matey? Cat O' Nine tails for the lot of 'em!
Arrrr!
It's satellite *radio*.
I tried to stick as close to the original as possible.
[and nobody got the Sirius/star joke?]...;D
You folks got what you want, Howard and his cohorts are no longer on the public airwaves...
What I can't see is how you can actually condone illegal activity just because it is perpetrated against someone you don't like. That, my dear friends, is shallow and carries with it no morality whatsoever.
Radio piracy is illegal, period, and if the FCC is worth their paychecks they will pursue this as they would any other case - with no more vigor than usual simply because of the star status of Stern, but certainly with no less.
Sirius has not only the right, but the obligation to its subscribers and shareholders, to pursue the infringement of their copyrights.
Deciding what cases you support based on your personal preferences is moral relativism in its finest form. Sometimes I am truly shocked and amazed by what I find on this forum...
To each his own. But to think Stern or Sirius cannot or should not be able to prevent the theft of their product because you don't like it is pretty stupid.
Beat Army, my man.
Sirius sucks big time.I hope they lose their a$$es!
I listen to calvary chapel radio on 88.1. Ever since Stern went on sirius, I occasionally hear Stern's show coming in 88.1. I looked on the web and it's either someone pirating or someone's FM modulator tuned to 88.1, but I never get any interference except for Stern.
A few people on this thread don't seem to understand irony.
True enough, I don't want anyone to hear it. I'd love to see Sirius take a bath on that "investment." They will soon know the error of their ways as Stern fades into the background of history... albeit with half a billion...
