Another hard working guy getting screwed

[telcoman]

Last time you assumed something, you impugned my (and my staff's) integrity with a baseless and libelous allegation.

Wow imagine that!
Me impugning the staff
their integrity
baseless allegations
libelous allegations
Is this the same staff that supports the tea party?
Sarah Palin?
George Bush?
The 8 years under BUSH the GOP ran this country into the ground with uncontrolled spending?
Unpaid for Medicare Part D as a gift to the drug companies.
Tax breaks for the richest
Job losses for the middle class
Got us into two unpaid for wars?

OMG

WOW Greg

Who would have guessed

OH MY!

Wait till 2012 and watch what happens

Is Telco saying that he believes the NICO staff are Tea Party members? hahaha oh Telco... Flirting with the ban hammer.

Can't a guy enjoy a cup of tea with his teddy bears and wearing a cute bonnet without people trying to label him?

Glad he's on your team.

Look - There's another baseless assumption! It's like Groundhog Day in here.

That's the second time in this thread that you've called me a liberal, sir.


Now, where did I leave my cheek-slapping glove...

[AZhitman]

...and if your "team mascot" keeps it up, I'll have to find a new label for you. Just doesn't seem fair to lump a man of your caliber in with his ilk.

p.s. You've got soft hands.

I'd be more interested in the actual employment contract and the evidence of subscriptions and data that might help interpret what the subscription data represents in terms of if Stern brought the subscribers in, with respect to what the contract actually says. The complaint details the plaintiff's assertions in the case. It is not, in and of itself, evidence. I'm in no way saying Stern is wrong or that Sirius XM is wrong. I'm pointing out that you seem to have made a conclusion about a case in which no evidence has been brought forth. Frankly, its unlikely that you or I or anyone here will see the whole of the evidence that will be shown in court (assuming it gets that far). So can anyone claim to know who was screwed or who is right in this matter? .

I agree. I've been an avid Stern listener since he began at NBC. But I will not blindly assume Stern is right until all the evidence gets laid out, and we have not seen it all yet. I suspect it'll get settled quietly and we'll never know.

But they made a number of payments to Stern

"On January 9, 2006, the Howard Stem Show premiered on Sirius. In the
first quarter of2006, the total number of Sirius subscribers increased to 4,077,747, and by year
end, the total number of Sirius subscribers had reached 6,024,555. This figure exceeded Sirius's
internal estimate by more than 2 million subscribers, entitling One Twelve to a performancebased
stock award and Buchwald to a consulting fee equal to 10% of this amount. In accordance
with its contractual obligations, Sirius again paid One Twelve and Buchwald the amounts...."

And later they stopped making the required payments under his contract agreement

So says Stern. You still do not know the other side of the story. None of us know what's in Stern's contract, or how the XM Merger affected that contract. I presume the payments stopped shortly after the merger.

Depending on how it's worded, Sirius/XM might be able to argue that former XM subsribers cannot be counted as Stern generated subscribers (post merger) as they signed up before Howard was even available to them.
