Amusingly, I heard that most of their customers were jumping ship to Macrovision. Guess Macrovision continued their fine history of pissing away a good opportunity, because that project got cancelled last week.

So sad. Poor bastards.

ArtistDirect is a bulletin board (aka penny) stock company

their revenues are in the $25M dollar range, they have a market cap of ~$14M, they have about $5M in cash left and $34M in debt

they have a negative book value and in 3 years they have not had a profitable year (ie., they lose many millions each year):

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=ARTD.OB

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=ARTD.OB&annual

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=ARTD.OB&annual

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cf?s=ARTD.OB&annual

their stock chart looks pretty weak:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=ARTD.OB&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

and they have had insiders (the guys who started it)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=ARTD.OB

doing a lot of selling at higher prices:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=ARTD.OB

their CFO just quit (a VERY bad sign for a publicly traded company):
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/070907/artd.ob8-k.html

and they have publicly expressed doubt about their ability to continue staying in business (this was WELL BEFORE the “leak”):

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/071114/artd.ob10qsb.html

“The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As a result of the matters described herein, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2006 consolidated financial statements, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

This company is currently trading at $1.50 and could well be going to zero – which makes it a pretty attractive short.

Damn they survived it after all… but thats a good thing its not like they were the only once.
Prices will go up for the big corps. to make them do illegal things which means they’ll all bleed dry a lot faster in the long run.
Hope they all raise their prices by a few 100%…

lolz dude ur right but worong;
the first two are corporate links and the other one is a wikipedia entry – the next seven are variations of “media defender poison”, “media defender hacked” , “media defender banned and blocked”, and my personal fav, “Leaked Media Defender e-mails reveal secret government project”:)!!!!

so, 600 thousand dollars to placate their four bigwig customers (http://www.slyck.com/story1622_MediaDefender_Leak_Cost_Nearly_1_Million_Dollar)
; thats only 150 thousand to sony, 150 thousand to vivendi, etc – that’s nothing!!!
Take an arbitrary vanillacrap artist from them 50 cent = 33 mil/year, timberlake = 20 mil/year, etc etc etc – and you realize, MD thinks they can placate a Don Musico by paying them less than a twentieth of what the Dons pay ONE of their higher artists in ONE single year – crazy!
HEY MD – Yer these guys biggest and/or only gun; make’m pay through the nose, nobody in a multi-billion-dollar-profit market cares about a puny 150 thousand!!!
